Re: Images Don't Show When Was Not Uploaded Through  Forum
-----------------------------------
Ok. Sounds good.

Websites have a thing called hotlink protection. That is where I can not take anything from your site without your permission. By doing this, people are stealing bandwidth off of other websites. It is frowned upon. I use hotlink protection on my sites (well, when I had websites).

if the website that the images were linked from has hotlink enabled, the images will never appear for you. And I have even coded websites when hotlink protected to show a picture of a guy shooting someone the middle finger and call them a thief.  :mryellow: 

But please do let us know how the person got the image and link, where they got it and how they posted it. That will help us narrow it down some for you hopefully.

Take care and have a blessed day.
