Well, I would like images back, but it's pretty risky.

Would you rather see images or have pop-ups show up every 2 seconds? I think Gaia's just blocking these images because they care about the users and the safety of accounts.

So, I do not sign. I disagree with this thread. Besides, for me, it's not that difficult to upload everything on Photobucket - actually it's quite easier. That way, whenever I go to tinypic I don't have to upload it again if I lose the IMG code.

Science is built up of facts, as a house is built of stones; but an accumulation of facts is no more a science than a heap of stones is a house

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny..."

My internet was quite fine and had no pop-ups before the block, xD.

And yeah, it's not that hard to upload something to Photobucket, but it was almost a forced thing. :[
But thanks for you opinion! :3

My internet was quite fine and had no pop-ups before the block, xD.

That's because it's not normal. It's something only hackers take advantage of.

The hackers are abusing something called basic access authentication.

Take this example.
You're browsing the Gaia forums. You come to a thread that looks interesting. You click the link to the thread. Your computer and Gaia's servers perform some HTTP exchanges, and you recieve the HTML for the page.
One of the images on the page is stored at http://www.example.com/images/evil.jpg, so your browser sends an HTTP request to example.com.

GET /images/evil.jpg HTTP/1.0
Host: localhost

However, example.com requires aurthorization, so it sends you a 401 message.

HTTP/1.0 401 UNAUTHORIZED
Server: HTTPd/1.0
Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 10:18:15 GMT
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Secure Area"
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 311

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
&HTML&
&HEAD&
&TITLE&Error&/TITLE&
&META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"&
&/HEAD&
&BODY&<H1>401 Unauthorized.</H1>&/BODY&
&/HTML&

When your browser recieves this, it will pop up a dialog box asking for your user name and password so the server can authenticate you.
Since you are still looking at a Gaia forum page, you decide it's safe to provide that information. You type in your user name as "Aladdin" and your password as "open sesame". (If that really is your password, please change it now.)
Your computer sends this:

GET /images/evil.jpg HTTP/1.0
Host: localhost
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

Note that the password is not actually encrypted. Your user name and password have been combined and is sent as a Base64 number.
Upon recieving that, and verifiying that you are who you say you are, the server at example.com sends the desired image. (Exept in this example it didn't actually test your user name and password. It stole it and authenticated you anyway)

HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: HTTPd/1.0 Date: Sat, 27 Nov 2004 10:19:07 GMT Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Length: 10476

And then sends you the image that you unknowingly requested.

I sign for the hopes that blocking images, without choice will never happen again.

Oh yeah, they fixed it good -_-

That's why EVERY SINGLE Photobucket and TinyURL image has been moved or deleted?
I have all images available to show, and NONE OF THEM WORK -_-''

They did NOT fix it. I have the display on, and still most of the images don't work. Just as many that didn't before -_-'
