Well, this is pretty stupid looking. I accessed the blog from another computer and a lot of the button graphics and other images on my front page have my little “hotlinking denied” graphic. Not to mention the main banner image (good one) and all the “drop shadow” images, which underlie most of my posted photos.
E-eee-eeexcellent. I’ve already sent an email to David so we can mess around with this tonight. Meanwhile, enjoy the lime green.
This same thing happened on the Holy Moly blog, but it corrected itself when I cleared cache on my browser. So don’t feel sad if you can’t see how stupid this page looks.
UPDATE: It’s due to the use of a proxy server, meaning anyone viewing this page via a proxy would see the hotlink warnings. So we’ll try something else. As you were.
You’re not an idiot … the IT department at your work is obviously using a proxy server that’s causing your referer information to not be sent properly.
Yeah, but I should have remembered to tell you that. And that’s not a bug, it’s a feature – for security, they won’t want the referrer info sent at all. Oh, well.
