Ah, good man! Thanks for helping to solve this mystery. As an FYI for the rest of you:

Basically the problem is that Norton Firewall, and I'm sure others, have the option for users to turn off referer information. I hadn't considered a scenario where a request would be made for a graphic without referrer information being passed. However, users with this type of firewall are apparently just that sort of situation. You might want to be sure you have the following line in your .htaccess files under the ruleset you have for anti-hotlinking of images:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

Basically allowing requests for images if there is no referrer data sent. Keep in mind, this does open you up to some hotlinking possibilities, because if an offending site links to yours with javascript or the like, this conditional would allow the hotlink to exist.

However, given the risk/reward involved, I'm adding it to mine.

Thanks again!

everything just seems so dark to me for the nature of the site. I didn't read everyone's replies but this is what would turn me off of it

i still don't care for it - the boys aren't way cute, but if it sells, that's what counts.

I love basschick. When she sees a stone at the bottom of a pond you can't get her to call it anything except a stone at the bottom of the pond. Her blunt comments and critiques have helped me a lot.

:thumbsup:

Are you going to Vegas, basschick?

hey, when you call the stone at the bottom of the pond something else, you may confuse what action you need to take to remove it from the bottom of the pond!

i am planning to be there for a day, just to meet folks. that may change if i get my new project underway before that, but i figure i can drive down for a lunch at least.
