[BUG] Serious Breach Of Forum Protocol
-----------------------------------
At the moment, the way IP caches off-line images leads to compromising other website / server restrictions when it comes to hot-linking.

The two images here DO HAVE "NO" hot-linking at the server and functions normally with other forum / website software.

For example if you "Click" the images below - you get what you should [u][b]only[/b][/u] be seeing when this post / thread was submitted. :P

Whether you like it or not - This is serious, and in the current format that the restricted images are being handled could raise some serious objections as to the integrity of IP. :(

[b]Edit:[/b]

Unfortunately I've had to revert back to squashing hot-link prevention for now for other reasons, but the fact of the matter is IP should not cache the "Preview Image" - rather it should cache the off-line "linked" image when the post / thread is submitted. ;)
