no images ?

#1

Post by srob »

while i often look in on the forum, i dont always log in,
i noticed yesterday, and again this morning, that i can no longer view any images on the forum when not logged in
and also a notice to either sign up or log in to see images,
but all is well when i'm logged in,
is this something new or do i need to change a setting somewhere to see images as a guest ?

no, you don't need to change any settings :)
its a measure we have put in place to deter unwanted bad bots from constantly downloading images from the forum, and using up the severs resources,
hopefully, after a few days we can remove the restrictions and make images available to one and all again :)
in the meantime we apologise for the inconvenience this may cause, but once again the actions of a few spoil it for everyone :(

to be quite honest, i hadn't noticed it until i got an email from the forum about it :roll:
as i usually log in to the forum when i visit here, so its no great shakes for me :)
and if it keeps the undesirables out, then so much the better i say :)
