[Forum] Allowing Hotlinking

[Father Juan]

I apologize if this has been answered before but I did a search and most posts dealt with not allowing hotlinking.

We wish to allow hotlinking of images hosted at our private forums, but despite setting the permissions for guests to allow downloading of attachments and allowing them to view thumbnails, images still can not be seen remotely.

For example the following is an image in my personal album on the forum which is a public album:

Img Code


Picture URL

http://gatbrigade.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3415&d=1341335454

As stated above our forum is private, but unregistered/not logged in permissions have been set to allow downloading of attachments and viewing of thumbnails. All forums also have the relevant permissions set accordingly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
