This is going way off topic but never mind...

LES...I feel like you're a magician.

I'm glad that worked for you, there are some benefits to being a sad technology obsessed geek :-)

What is the difference between 0 and 1? And should I leave it at one of those or at 2?

OK the values do the following:

0 - Never send the Referer header.
1 - Send the Referer header when clicking on a link.
2 - Send the Referer header when clicking on a link or loading an image. (Default)

As you have already seen some sites block images from being loaded if you don't have the right referer string this is usually to stop people using copyrighted images on one server in pages served from another server. This is very useful if you have limited bandwidth. Most websites that do this match against a specific URL and reject anything that does not match, including a missing field, we are lucky that the site used by Petz does not do this. From this description I hope that you have worked out that if there are now websites that you visit that have missing images it is due to this change and you should set the value back to 2.

There are some websites out there that use the referer field to do tricks like creating dynamic back links on the new page that you visit, this will work with the value set to 1 or 2 but not 0.

If you are paranoid about sites knowing where you have come from leave this setting at 0 and appreciate that some bits of the web may become that bit less friendly to you ;-)

Theres nothing wrong there Les, every forum needs at least one sad technology obsessed geek keep up the good work .

Once again lovely fish Petz

Your loaches are looking as good as ever, Patrick. I particularly like one of the larger ones that has a lot of red on the leading edge of the dorsal fin.

Wow, Patrick, they are amazing fish you have there

i reckon i have been very lucky so far - photobucket has just worked, as for this 0, 1, 2 bit, now that is confusing

we definately need technology geeks here, and all sorts of other geeks. well, we are all loach geeks, after all
