Could you post the contents of your .htaccess file?

My only guess is that Viper's coming in through forums.microsuck.com (with an 's'), which wouldn't work the way you have it.

Change that line to

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://forum(s)?\.microsuck\.com/.*$ [NC]

Also, if you want to be able to just copy and paste the url and have it load (i.e. so no referer will be set) you need to add

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

Nope, it still isn't working for me man. It doesn't matter what browser I use. I come here through forum.microsuck.com .

I'm about to boot to Linux and see if I get the problem in Linux as well.

Ok, I can see the image in Linux. I can view all of the images in the content directory of your hosting space in Linux.

I bet that I need to enable some of the XP services that I currently have disabled. The firewall I use in Windows isn't the issue because I get the problem even with it disabled.

I don't see why it would be that. What browser are you using? I'd try a different one and see if it makes a difference.

In XP I tried IE 6, Mozilla 1.5, Firebird, Opera and MyIE2. None of them worked. I think that my problem is related to one of the many services that I have disabled.

In Linux it works fine with Mozilla, Konquerer, Firebird and Galeon. I didn't try any other Linux browsers because I am convinced that I need to mess around with the services in Windows and figure out which one that I disabled needs to be enabled.

(Edit)Sorry for the hassle flap and escyle. ;(

At work right now, i am on win2k using IE to browse. It works fine. YOu must something disabled, or your internet security settings are too high.

Well I have the problem solved in Windows. I had it setup to where information about visited sites could not be sent from any browser. Apparently that breaks compatibility with your hosting probably because you have it setup to where images can only be viewed from forum.microsuck.com, artsformdesign.com and escyle.com. When my browser doesn't send the information about where I am at it obviously isn't going to let me view the image because it thinks I am viewing it from another place that isn't on that list.

You were right escyle, I do have my security pumped up too high.

Nothing wrong with being secure. Too bad there isnt a way to keep the settings high, while still being able to view the images.
