Photobucket - link to pictures, via a wheeze.

[star-warrior]

Lately the links to Photobucket directly from this site ain't been working at all. Anyway, you can get around the problem by using either a third party site, for example tinyurl.

Take http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a286/Xiwa/luca_06.jpg for example

If you click it from here, you won't be able to view it. However, shove the link into tinyurl, and it will give you a link say like this

http://***********/wnlu6

clicking on the tinyurl from this site goes directly to the photobucket picture.

Why some people, for example myself, have no problems at all in viewing them?

Well it seems that I clicked your tinyurl link and I got nothing but a banned picture.

because you have something that blocks your referer - eg a some kind of firewall that is doing things a firewall shouldn't do

you probably clicked the other URL first, so the banned pic is in your cache now. press shift+reload (or ctrl+reload) and you should see the correct pic.

Yes, that no doubt sounds very much like me

No I clicked the second link first, it gave me that. I refreshed and reloaded and it still gives me the same thing. The banned picture.
