As you can see, they do not work from here (althought sometimes they do work when doing a preview). Can anyone tell how to avoid this error?
Thanks

Palehorseholsters has enabled some security features to protect themselves from bandwidth and intellectual property theft. You could contact them and ask them to let people start using their bandwidth and content.
Either that, or they're using something free... which the message you're getting appears to indicate.

What a pain :)
You would think they would want folks to look at their products ...
Oh well, direct links work ...
Thanks

An increasing number of picture hosting sites are refusing remote linking (where you link to the image from a website other than their own).
The only cure is to download the picture and upload it to an account of your own on a hosting site (provided the image isn't copyrighted).

Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
This is the preferred method so links to photos do not become broken as sites change. These kind of links can also severely slow page loading on this forum at times, as the problem is trying to be resolved. When that happens, I will generally remove the links, post or thread that is causing the problem....Originally Posted by MattLarson

One should also be aware that some folks, upon noticing a bunch of unwanted remote linking, will replace the picture with something, um, well, inappropriate for a family site.

I've actually had this happen to me. Someone linked to one of my small graphic files. At first it didn't really bother me, but then his site got very busy and my bandwidth usage went up considerably. That could very well be the case here.
I think the way I fixed it was in the .htaccess file. There's a command that won't allow a link unless it comes from the actual domain.

Edited to add, once I had the image in cache it came right up just like it's supposed to. Once I clear my cache it will go away again. I'd never noticed that before?
