I keep getting logged out, and I have it set so I stayed logged in. Odd... I need to clear my cookies anyway.

It just started happening last night. Did you change anything?

Here's what it looks like.

Have you tried viewing the site with Firefox or IE?

Yeah it's okay with Firefox. But Firefox is slow.

I don't get it though. It worked fine in Opera until last night. Now, every image that's not linked off-site is that stupid logo.

It probably has something to do with the new hotlinking protection Josh has implemented. Lots of bandwith thieves out there, and he's disabled hotlinking on the site.

Huh. By any chance, if someone tries to hotlink an image off this site, does it come up with a blue and red Sega-16 logo?

I tried hotlinking the banner off of this site and yes it does come up with the logo you're seeing. After that I came back here and the banner that I had hot linked showed up with the red and blue sega-16 logo that you're seeing. I pressed refresh and it returned to normal though.

One of the Genre specials does that to me...

I downloaded Opera because they got rid of the ads and it seems to be working fine for me.

Yeah, I'm now running the newest version of Opera.. but it still does that.

maybe you should e-mail them.

Strange that it does that. I haven't heard of that happening to anyone else so far.

Ken, you can bring this stuff to my attention, you know. :)

j_factor, do this in Opera: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > History. Set all "Check x" options to "Always". Press the "Empty Now" button for the Disk Cache.

I'm looking at this site in Opera right now, and I don't see the problem. Although, I just made sure the .htaccess code was synch'd with what is used for Got Next, so maybe the old code sucked and created that problem in Opera.

Well it stopped now (without fiddling with preferences). So thanks.

Sorry Josh, I didn't say anything because it wasn't a site-wide problem. I figured I'd wait and see if the problem was with j_factor's browser settings before I called for help. :)

Glad to see everything's cool now.
