P.S. I have a terrible time staying logged on to this system, even with cookie blocking off.

Images
As far as I can tell, the biggest issue is that you load images remotely. Are you willing to stop doing that, and instead make copies of the images and their associated Image: pages? Superm401 - Talk 13:48, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * As I have repeatedly stated I don't load images remotely. They are cached on my server.  Here's an image example from the Art Portal:

http://www.localcolorart.com/images/upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Headbuddha.jpg *

shown on page http://www.localcolorart.com/encyclopedia/Portal:Art/

and the associated image information page:

http://www.localcolorart.com/encyclopedia/Image:Headbuddha.jpg/

\*All images must be loaded from the page on which it resides. Otherwise you should get just a default pixel. This keeps people from remotely loading images from MY site. If you are concerned about remote loading of images you might consider this option yourself.

If anyone can find an example of an image on my site from wikipedia that is remotely loaded, PLEASE let me know so I can fix it. Thank you, Kathy's Daddy 13:43 January 25th, 2006 (CST)

Here's a snippet of the code I use in .htaccess file of my image directory:

RewriteEngine on



RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT}    !.*(win|mac|msie|netscape|mozilla|frontpage).*  [NC] RewriteRule ^.*$                  /pixel.gif [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}       !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}       !^http://.*(MYDOMAIN1|MYDOMAIN2|ETC).* [NC] RewriteRule ^.*$                  /pixel.gif [L] 69.19.14.31 20:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * My mistake. I carelessly misread urls like "/images/upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Headbuddha.jpg" as "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fc/Headbuddha.jpg". (This was probably because I saw that you were linking to the images directly and wrongly assumed you were also sourcing them directly. ). I still have no way of knowing that you're not loading and reserving them each time (it would be easy with such a url), but I will assume good faith. Superm401 - Talk 01:03, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
