Why don't the images at fox302.com ever show up for me?

I did a bit of reading and I think I know what the problem is: NPF stops your web browser from sending http referrer information. This means that a website cannot figure out where a user came from. My site is configured so that images will only display if the referrer is fox302.com. This was put in place to keep people from linking images on other websites (I was using several gigabytes per month simply hosting graphics in people's signatures on other forums).

I will try and edit my setup so that you can link to images with a referrer of either fox302.com, or nothing at all. This will still keep people from using images in other webpages, but won't screw up NPF user's view of the page.

Please keep us updated notfred, I know I'm not the only one here who appreciates your time and effort in fox302.com and here

Atom, thanks for the detailed instructions, I appreciate it

Cheers notfred & atom! :beer:

I made the change I mentioned above. The site should be working now for NPF users. However, I've made the assumption that NPF sends absolutely no referrer information at all, if it does in fact send something, just not the correct info, it still won't work. If there is still an issue I'll look into what kind of referrer information NPF is actually sending.

Again notfred, thanks. I just un-did what atom posted from the Symantec site and I don't have any problem w/ your fox302.com website

Cheers notfred :beer:
