For some reason, your firewall/ISP or something is not allowing access to images.abovetopsecret.com

This happens to me occasionally and I either sign out of my browser and sign in again or reboot my computer. That always does the trick.

Try adjusting your Internet security settings. Also some software (firewalls and AV's) may prevent the images from being downloaded.

Is the problem limited to ATS or all websites?

It only happens on ATS/BTS/ATSNN websites.

I have the same thing. "Image linking not allowed" everywhere and only on the ATS-sites. Very weird.

I'm certainly not going to lower my fences for this problem. IMO this problem should be solved by ATS immediately!

Your browser/firewall is configured to not send header data that identifies the current page you're on. Since our server is configured to disallow remote image linking by other sites (it was a serious bandwidth problem for us at one point), we're not going to alter our settings.

About .02% of users encounter this problem.

So you expect ATS to, who is a much more likely target? I see..

S.O., the images that don't show properly only seem to be part of the site's navigation and interface. Can't you just separate the navigation from the uploaded content? Those nav-images are probably only 10k max each.

I temporarily disabled my up-to-date version of McAfee Personal Firewall Plus and removed the cache of my Netscape 7.2 browser, my Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and Mozilla Firefox 1.04.
Unfortunately the ATS-site keeps giving me the same freaking 'Image linking not allowed' warningsigns.

However when I tested the firewall status in McAfee Security Center after disabling it, I got the following respons from HackerWatch.org.

Unable to Probe

The IP address requesting this page is different from the IP address of your computer. This indicates that your computer is behind a proxy or NAT. These devices allow you to access the Internet by relaying traffic, typically from multiple computers, through a single IP address.

We are unable to directly probe your computer, you should take comfort from this. You have that much more protection between your computer and the Internet.


So since I disabled my proxy it could only be an active NAT (Network Address Translation) that's causing this problem.

So I turned off the whole McAfee Security Suite. Still the same problem, leaving me clueless this time...

Anyone???

Could be you have an ad-blocker installed on your PC, i had this problem and just add ATS to the alow list.

Just a idea.

I read the title: "The site is broke" and I clicked it while reaching for my credit cards. I was going to chip in a little cash to keep it going.



Talk about a relief......

Well, I'm at work right now and in IE 6.0 the same problem is starting too, yet strangely enough not in the topnavigation but only some kind of picture posted by King Lizard. Here's the screenhot:

homepage


I can't recall having this problem at work before. Then again I don't have the problem in Firefox 1.06.

I think the feds are on to me or something

I occasionaly get this from work, but it's no biggy. I just close the browser and start again.
Sometimes it will lock up when trying to load a page, so I only get half of it, but again, a new browser session usually fixes that.

I use IE at work, but Mozilla at home. At home I have no probs, but here at work i can't even see mine, or some others Avatars...

The main thing is, I can read the posts, which at the end of the day is all that matters.

Hmmm...

"Image linking not allowed"...

This I get intermittently. System info:

1) Active X disabled on the IE6

2) No software based firewall on the PC

3) have hardware based intelligent firewall

I do know that there is a transparent proxy between me and you guys.

I would suggest ATS cater for transparent proxies re IP addesses (and image linking etc). Here's a nifty php script to get the real IP address and fix this issue:

function getip()
[
if (getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR") && strcasecmp(getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"), "unknown"))
$iip = getenv("HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR");
else if (getenv("REMOTE_ADDR") && strcasecmp(getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"), "unknown"))
$iip = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
else if (isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) && $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] && strcasecmp($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], "unknown"))
$iip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
else if (getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP") && strcasecmp(getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP"), "unknown"))
$iip = getenv("HTTP_CLIENT_IP");
else
$iip = "1.1.1.1";
return($iip);
]


Cheers
