In Response To: hey Wu, funny story btw. (Duncan) : When I submitted the first post in this thread I made sure to hit : "Preview" first to make sure I had my html squared away. : Everything looked good, the pictures were fine. They showed up even though I : was posting it from work and the filtering here can be pretty random. So I : hit "Post". : Later, I checked again and all of a sudden NONE of the pictures would load. I : panicked for a split second thinking I had exceeded tinypic's bandwidth : limitations or something and that everyone else would see a text-only post : (the embarassment!). : It was then that I noticed my browser trying to load pictures hosted on the : halo.bungie.org domain (but was being blocked by a web filter). : So I went back to the Forum Index and noticed a link to the Frontpage article : "Of Emblems and Podcasts". Waves of relief that I hadn't messed : up my image hosting and also elation at having made the front page! : It turns out the filtering at work allows the carnage.bungie.org domain but : blocks halo.bungie.org. This means I can check the HBO forums but not the : frontpage (and I've even tried that alternate address, it doesn't work : either). This makes no sense to me; why would you ban part of a domain? (ie why is carnage okay when halo is not?) : Just thought you might enjoy that story. Thanks for rehosting/frontpaging! I've learned, from experience, that anything I frontpage HAS to be rehosted; not just because we cause a bandwidth hit at the beginning (it used to be far worse than it is now), but because 3 years from now, all of those pictures will be gone from other sites, and our news posts will be broken.
