Bit of a cryptic title I know, but couldn't think of a better way to phrase it.

Basically, the PH domain is blocked at work (I'm sure there are many members who face a similar problem), so I access PH using the track-days domain. However, when I'm using this domain, because all the images used in articles and classified ads are hosted on a server on the PH domain, I can't see them.

Jim, could you please fix it for me so that I can access all the PH hosted images even when the PH domain is blocked? biggrin

Tar muchly.

Weirdly enough, just as I posted this, all the smilies in people's posts became blocked too!

Have you tried using petrolheads.com instead. There is a couple of other domains used so maybe it would work?

petrolheads.com just redirects to pistonheads.com

The problem is that the images use absolute paths with pistonheads.com as the domain.

I imagine it would be a huge operation to move all the hosted pictures or redirect them for track-days etc.

I guess the alternate URLs come with these small glitches but it still means you get most of the PH experience when you should be working. smile

yes

Definitely something to be aware of, though.

I only know very basic server/hosting stuff, but is it not possible to do something with a parked domain on the image server, or some fancy rewrite rule, etc?
