Great to see you are back, Tai. I was wondering just today what happened to you. There's been an issue with pixspot and linking the images to the forum. Sorry not sure how to resolve, I'm sure someone else has a work around.

Alex is right, pixspot doesn't work with the forum anymore.
(although I can see them and they look good, I felt sorry for Craig no getting the gold, I was cheering for him).

Check here for information on other hosting options other then pixspot.

workaround for viewing the images in the thread corectly with firefox is

install refcontrol extention (pix post is using hotlink protection to block images)

https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/m ... on=firefox

go to pixpost

http://www.pixspot.com/

right click on page and click "refcontrol options for this site" select "forge" click ok

now pixpost images will work for you on any forum you visit

or you can just type in about:config in the address bar...

Then find network.http.sendRefererHeader and set it to 0.

Now, your browser won't send the referer heading anymore and the website can't be sure that you haven't accessed the image from one of its pages.

cheers

i would of sudgested that but it just means remembering in the future when some site is not working correctly that you have changed that setting. i find it easyer to just change it for problem sites.
