Phpbb

I hope someone knows how to fix this. I had recently created a message board (with phpBB) for my critics (I run a movie review site) to communicate in. Earlier today it was working fine but just now, all the images are not showing. I had been rumaging around cpanel and putting on restrictions but I don't think I touched anything related to the board.

 

Is this a system-wide problem?

 

 

EDIT: I figured out the problem. I had activated the hotlink protection which blocked those images. So, now my question is, how do enable it yet still get those images?

In cpanel under hotlink you can add an authorized url

make sure your site with the phpbb is listed as http://site.ext

and http://www.site.ext

Both http://moviemansguide.com and http://www.moviemansguide.com are listed (which is where my phpBB is located (per instructions).

Open a help ticket using the link at the top of this page

and let the techs take a look at your account.

As I mentioned on the Help Desk, the grpahics are showing up fine for me. If you will post the link to the site so others can check it would help isolate the problem.

Well, after talking with the help desk, figured out it was my Norton Internet Security. What I did was, I checked my graphics using my laptop and it did the same thing (on other pages on the server, as well). I then disabled my Internet Security, reloaded the page and the images appeared (I could not, however, duplicate this on my PC).

 

So for now, I'm just going to disable the hotlink protection until I can figure out what to do. Has anyone else had this problem? Right now, it's not a big problem since I still need to upload the rest of my site. I honestly don't think hotlinking will be (or has been) a problem on my site *knock on wood*.
