I've been trying to upload a pic to topic(in test forum). It is sized for web and uploads, but when I preview or post I get rswarrior logo with message No External Links allowed.
I the pic is from film I had developed on a CD at Wal-Mart.

Works for me

The site you may be trying to link to may be preventing it, though.

 

[cosmo]

Could something be embedded in the pic file that links to a bad site?

It is probably because you are using Norton Internet Security and it is "blocking referrer" information.

CarKnee,
I guess your right re:NIS, because I uploaded the same pic from work today and it is visible on the post. Thank you for your response.

 

[boogie man]

If you are getting the "No External Linking" Image then please see this article from Symantec:

Here's what I sent to a member the other day. It worked for me and should work for you if running NIS 2004.

From the NIS main screen, click on "Privacy Control"
Click "Configure" on the right side (or double-click Privacy Control)
Click on "Advanced"
Click on "Add Site"
Add www.rswarrior.com
On the "Global settings" tab, under the "Information about visited sites",
uncheck "Use default settings" and click on "Permit"

Norton's blocking of referrer information is total BS! It is one of the biggest annoyances to web developers, and it really has no reason to exist!

Here is basically what it does:
1. You are on www.SomeWebsite.com
2. You click on a link to www.rswarrior.com
3. The RSW web server is able to see that you came from www.SomeWebsite

In a nutshell the site who referred you to RSW is the referrer. Now the same hold true for images! If you upload an image in your gallery, but then go to the forums @ www.SomeWebsite.com and post a picture from rswarrior.com the referrer information for that image will be somewebsite.com. This is a waste of the bandwidth that RSW pays for.

Make sense?

Great, now I'll be able to see and upload pictures at home.

I had the same problem, I would just disable NIS when reading the forum.

I am on a Mac CPU at home and have never been able to get an acct. let alone see any pics on this site. Have done as suggested. Used a PC at the office and now can login at home but still no pics. Disabled every virus protection and firewall app still and nothing.

 

[INNOVA2000]

Yes this is correct. You must turn off NIS while your on this sight, then you'll be able to see all photos in thr galler.[/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]

I am running Nortons with the complete Anti-Virus and Firewall Software...I can't find or locate where I can change the referrer settings.

FYI, I am not accessing a site...I am actually trying to load an image from my computer into a thread message...it's not located on the web anywhere....

When I get to Privacy Control, it has to do with my personal information that could get released to the computer - there isn't an option for "Advanced".

You don't get this screen?

For those of you who use Zone Alarm Pro....
Go to Privacy ; Site list;

Allow private headers and 3rd party cookies for the site (rswarrior) you have problems with.

For those of you with the 2003 version of Norton like me:

Open "Norton Personal Firewall"
click on "Options" on the toolbar at the top
click on "Personal Firewall"
click on "Web Content" tab
click on "Add Site" at lower left
Add www.rswarrior.com
On the "Global Settings" tab, under the "Information about visited sites", uncheck "Use default settings" and click on "Permit"
Close up NPF and go look at all the great Warrior pictures

Hi guys, I'm new here and I'm having the same problem viewing pics. I added the site in norton and did the permit thing but it still doesn't allow me to see the pics. This is sad since I can get in trouble looking at work but can't look at home[V]. I really don't want to turn off the norton because I do get more than a few attempts at intrusion into my computer.
