      Bizarre. Opens fine on all my boxes. I'll add un-tinied URL to OP although it kills a bit of the fun... //L

        In that case you have something bogus with your MIME types, opens a .jpg here. //L

        Works in Chrome, doesn't work in FF - maybe FF is naive enough to believe the MIME-type in the HTTP header

            Not only does it download instead of showing in FF, but I get a GIF with a JPG extension that says "No hotlinking".

                        I assume that's because you visited the page it came from recently and aren't triggering the hotlink trap when reloading just the image. Try again in a different browser. I don't think I've seen any that track visits across browsers.

                            IE8 -- I got the "No hotlinking" message then copied the URL into a new tab and it worked, but wasn't worth it.

                              Didn't visit the page even originally, did a google image search to find it, copied URL and opened in a new browser. After all the drama here I have tested it on 9 clients, ranging from XP SP2 to Weven, in three countries. All clients have a minimum of four web browsers (IE/FF/Opera/Chrome). It worked fine on ALL of them. Also, several other users reported it working fine. I suppose I deserved all the 1's since all the machines I tested from are located on the same continent. Lazy me. I have an opinion of the univoters that voting 1 would be a too generous action to describe. //L [edit] You have got to be kidding me. Immature tossers. And yes, I consider that KSS.

                                      Firstly I find it unlikely that you know my mom, and as such you would be unable to state with any kind of certainty that I've cried to her about this or anything else. Secondly I do not downvote people as a joke, I do that if their post is moronic and/or offensive. I would have thought that to be the rational approach, and as such I do not see how my OP qualifies. But I am sure you can tell me. Thirdly I haven't cried to my mom, your mom, or the postman for that matter. I have stated I think this is ridiculous behaviour. Fourthly, if you wish to continue this exchange I welcome you to the Back Room. I cannot use the adjectives and nouns I'd like in here. //L

                                        Google image search just wraps the original page they found the image on in a frame.

                                        3x12=36 2x12=24 1x12=12 0x12=18

                                          True. And they provide a handy little link that takes you to the image itself as well. A link that I've earlier explained has worked for me on a number of systems and browsers I tested it on after the drama here started. Other CPians in this thread has stated it worked for them too. Now I don't know why it didn't work for the others, and frankly - right now I couldn't care less. I cannot see what in my post warranted the flood of 1-votes, and I am exactly stupid enough to take offense. I tend to treat others the way I'd like to be treated, even on forums and other "anonymous" communication channels. And I am silly enough to expect the same from others. My mistake, and one that I am likely (hopefully) to repeat over and over. //L
