Kansas - Leftoverture

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
didnt think twice, the goner look
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
hello, oh by the way your on fire, tuck your tail in and hide the horns

DallasBryan, Did you know that most of the images you post in the various ProgArchives forums appear as darkish grey boxes? Now, it is possible for a Web site to stop people hot-linking to images on that Web site (often called 'bandwidth theft') and instead display another image of the Webmaster's choosing on the other site, often a JPG displaying words along the lines of "This images is stolen from http://www.anotherwebsite.com - www.anotherwebsite.com ". This is achieved by the Webmaster using a special file called .htaccess if the Web site is hosted on computer using the Apache Web server software. By right-clicking on some of the images in your post above I see that they are hot-linked to the rateyourmusic.com Web site. Now, I am just wondering if rateyourmusic.com is using such a technique to stop bandwidth theft, which could explain why all the image files you hot-link to are displayed as darkish grey boxes instead of the original image. You might want to bear this in mind and try hot-linking to another source of images in future. Amazon, for example, does not block hot-linking. Hope this helps.------------- http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=326" rel="nofollow - Read reviews by Fitzcarraldo |

Amazing - before I opened this thread, I was going to go with Relayer and ITCOTCK. But you've already posted them!  ------------- My father was a beekeeper before me; his father was a beekeeper.

No need to be so drastic, but try to use sites that would not appear to have a strong reason to block hot-linking of images. Most sites don't block hot-linking of images, actually, but some sites are hot-linked to *a lot* and it can have a big impact on their bandwidth if they don't discourage hot-linking by using the technique I described above. Try looking at your posts on a different computer -- at work, say -- and if you can see the original images that you have hot-linked to then that's fine; if not, experiment hot-linking to another site. As I said, Amazon (and its various sister sites in other countries) does not block hot-linking. I suspect that is because a) they have loads of bandwidth, and b) linking to a commercial site helps with search engine ratings for that site, and c) it may help sales a little if people look at the site (both to find the image and because of the link).
Music Web sites and forums are legion, and I suspect that some of the popular music reference sites that are not commercial organisations or that are run on a tight budget have to do something to discourage 'bandwidth theft', as it's called, if it grows too large and affects the site's bills.

I think all of them can represent that concept. And others. Those yellow squares are very avant-garde.  ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

DallasBryan,
Actually, I've looked on the rateyourmusic.com Web site and some -- but not all -- of the original images you hot-linked to in this thread appear as grey boxes on that site, so in this case it would not appear to be a hot-linking blocker but rather a problem with rateyourmusic.com itself. In any case, my advice above still stands as the technique I described is used by some sites. In any case, if rateyourmusic.com is an unreliable source for hot-linkiing of images, try some others.

You can save the images to your hard drive, then upload them to an image-hosting site like villagephotos or photobucket, and hotlink to them there.
