Can you see my page?

Please look here

Patrick from 69 top site is getting broken images and can't see the banner, but I can see it on IE6 and Netscape.

Does anyone else see broken links?

Thanks for your help.

No broken links here, Linux/Firefox and I didn't see anything in the html that would do it.

Is it possible you got slammed with traffic and hit max_connections in apache? Do you have any anti-hotlinking rules? If so, is that person surfing with Norton Firewall which masks the referrer?

I have not a clue what you are talking about, but here is the email!

I noticed that most of your images on your site you added show as broken images and the banner in our toplist shows as a broken image until I turn off my firewall. Are your images behind any kind of protection directory on your server? This happened with someone else because they had some kind of anti-picture theft feature turned on in their site and prevented a lot of people from being able to see the images. Long story short, you might want to look into this and perhaps move your banner to a different location but also look into why your jpg pictures show as broken? Generally, even if a viewer has a firewall and Ad blockers on (which does this to some gif banners), it should not affect jpg pictures.

Thanks.

that would tell me that you have some anti hotlinking rules in your .htaccess file.

I'm wondering though what the referrer looks like. Norton used to set it to 'Blocked by Norton', but, for a while was sending a blank referrer, and for a while were sending XXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXX.

Another forum I follow was talking about the issue about blocking bad versus allowing good, since, most .htaccess rules will also block google from hotlinking in the http://images.google.com section.

They show up as broken when I turn off Referer.

You can do that pretty easily if you have FireFox

Type: about:config
Change: network.http.sendRefererHeader to "0"

Just change it back to "2" which is the default when you're done.

Here's my htaccess:

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.dreamypleasures.com
ErrorDocument 403 http://www.dreamypleasures.com

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*dreamypleasures.com [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*google.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*69topsites.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG)$ - [F]

Should I change something here?

Thanks guys!
