filtering image URLs

[flusheding]

Why are both facebook and wordpress URLs filtered? makes posting images from those sites tedious as you have to upload them to somewhere that isn't blocked.

sphotos.ak

is one of the words filters

It's not the SMB that's filtering them - it's the site's that the images belong to.

Its a bit of both, sometimes sites do something to prevent "leeching" of their images and redirect to a new url, sometimes they complain to us that we are breaching copyright by displaying their images.

Once it gets as far as solicitors letters coming from them I tend to prevent the display of images to shut them up.
