Whenever I see someone who's posted pictures from policecarwebsite.net, to any website (not just this one), the images don't work (and opening in new tab leads to a 403 Forbidden error). Does this happen for anyone else?

It doesn't look like it is happening to me. Do you have an example thread?

Nope, works fine for me.

403 errors can't normally be fixed client-side. While it's technically classed as a client error (400-series), what it means is that the server is refusing to serve you the content.

I can view it fine

Damn. I might just have to email the site admin and ask why it doesn't work.

Guys, the error might be because the website has hot linking protection enabled, which basically blocks people from hotlinking the images/files on their server from other servers, this helps save bandwidth. Just a thought...

That's what I was thinking, but it seems to work for some people.

Yeah it's weird...It wasn't working for me...however, after visiting the website...it started working....Maybe they have some rule in their .htaccess where you need to have a connection/cookie or session on the website to use it...I'm still blank on this.

I think I'll email the guy. I'll also ask if it's OK if we put images on imgur to share.

Hey Cp,

Just curios, could you try updating the url of the images to http://www. instead of http://

The reason why I'm asking is because when I try to access the images directly with policecarwebsite.com it doesnt work, but when I try http://www.policecarwebsite.com  it works. Give it a shot and please let me know.
