A small problem... - CoasterBuzz

Hi,

I've been having a small problem where basically any picture that is placed on the forums (e.g. smileys, winkeys) or in the menu title bar have become a picture that reads "This image is being LEECHED from..." and the coasterbuzz logo is below the above text...

This has only occured to me in the last week and I was wondering if anyone knew about this and has any suggestions on how to get rid of the problem...

Thanks,

Kevin

The problem appears when firewalls or proxy servers grab images without indicating in the request the referring page.

We had to do it to make a certain other site look really stupid for deep-linking to images on our server and thinking that we don't mind paying for bandwidth for their sites. It was also punishment, becauese they've done it many times, to other sites as well.

So is there any way I can get rid of this? I haven't done anything to link to the site or use any images off and the only thing that I can think of that may relate to this is that I am using Norton's Firewall...

That's probably the your issue... Norton's Firewall. Never used it, so I couldn't tell you, but it sure sounds like it's mangling your outgoing HTTP requests.

I use a web safe router and Norton Internet Security and am having the leeched images problems too. Sounds like Norton issue then.
