It's most likely that imageshack does not allow you to hotlink like that.

Escuse me but ur wrong.

I'm using another php forum on the same hosting anf I have no problem with linking, so there must be a config option or something that i don't see

Besides, as u could see the image above is linked without any problem.

Yes you are right and I am wrong ..... don't know what I was thinking when I made my reply

I've look thru all the ACP settings (as I'm sure you have as well) and didn't notice anything related.... but I could be wrong

You have me curious, but I have no explanation .... hang in there, someone will have the answer.

Sry for bumping.

Not even changing the .htaccess file, adding exceptions on hotlink will work

Code: [Hide] [Select]

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www.)?imageshack.us [NC]

RewriteRule .(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$ - [NC,F,L]

D'oh I'll give up on that

Delete this thread if u want....
