No. Probably one needs to be a member of the forum to see the images?Graeme Robson wrote:I edited.

I wonder if it's the Firefox issue.

thanks for trying Graeme. I'm using explorer for this post and still can't see the pics. But the boxes are nicely lined up now...

Time to spot the people with paranoid settings on their web browser.
It seems that the site hosting these images has a policy of only allowing people browsing their web site to see them. This is done by checking the referer field in the request sent asking for the image. When browsing from this site the field will be set to loaches.com and you will be given the default 'not allowed' image.
However the coders over at aquariumforum.de seem to have a slight bug in their logic, if the referer field is not set they will send out the images just fine. This is where the paranoia comes in, most web browsers allow you to configure if you send this referer field or not, if you are concerned about web sites tracking where you have come from it is a good idea to disable this.
Here is a quick howto for Firefox:
Open a new tab/window and enter the URL "about:config" (no quotes)
In the box labelled "Filter" type "referer"
You should now have one item in the window below called network.http.sendRefererHeader. Double click on this and set the value to one (1) or zero (0).
Come back to this thread and reload.
Once the images are in your cache you can change this value back to the default 2.
More information is available.
Lovely looking set-up and fish you have there Petz :-)

I can't see your pics. Just a block of text saying in German that this pic is hosted by Aquarium Forum De.
The simplest way to post pics here is to open an account (free) with Photobucket. Then you upload your pics to Photobucket and link them from there to here.
Just Google photobucket and all will be clear

LES...I feel like you're a magician. I followed your steps and it worked but I don't entirely understand why. My husband loosely described the process to me but I'm dumb or something. Basically all I get is that its not telling the other site where I'm coming from (LOL), so the site is not restricting my view of the picture.
What is the difference between 0 and 1? And should I leave it at one of those or at 2?
