View banned ImageShack hotlink images


Many images are hosted on ImageShack. Sometimes, you'll see the original image replaced with a ImageShack image telling "Hotlink has been disabled for this domain". Here's the way on how to view these images anyway.

For Firefox

  1. Type about:config in the address bar. The settings from the browser will show.
  2. Type network.http.sendRefererHeader in the filter.
  3. Double click on the filtered network.http.sendRefererHeader and change the value to 0.
  4. Reload the page and you'll see the images. When you're done, set the value back to 2 because some websites will not display properly when it's set to 0.

For Opera

  1. Press the F12 key.
  2. Uncheck Enable referrer logging.
  3. Reload the page and you'll see the images. When you're done, check the Enable referrer logging again.

For Internet Explorer

  1. Get Firefox or Opera
  2. Follow instructions for webbrowser as above.
