Having problems viewing images at the-magicbox.com?

Drunken Savior · 04-28-2004, 07:34 PM

If you have problems seeing images in this site, and you have an Internet Security program (such as Norton Internet Security) installed in your system, please try to disable "Browser Privacy".

Example for Norton Internet Security 2003:

1. Open the Norton Internet Security Control Panel

2. Click on "Privacy Control", choose "Configure".

3. If you have "Turn on Privacy Control" checked, click on "Custom Level".

4. In the "Customize Privacy Settings" page, uncheck "Enable Browser Privacy".

5. Click OK and accept the settings.

Example for Zone Alarm:

1. Open the Zone Alarm Control Panel

2. Click on "Firewall", choose the "Zones" tab.

3. Add a new site, set Zone to "Trusted", and enter "http://www.the-magicbox.com" as the host name.

Hope this helps out everyone who has had problems!

I keep getting a ZoneAlarm Pro with webfiltering cannot find http://www.the-magicbox.com
error message.

Should type just www.the-magicbox.com on host name.
but even after that I still didn't manage to get any pictures loaded with ZAP enable

I can't watch any of the movies from the SEGA E3 media files on the main page. I keep getting this message with the Windows Media Files saying that it can't stream because the website can't be found or is busy, and this only happens on this site. I was trying to watch the Sega Eyetoy and Alter Beast games. My ZoneAlarm couldn't find the magicbox site either. Any ideas?

Well. If I turn off my ZoneAlarm, I can view the videos now.

That's probably because the server is really really busy, you know it is still the E3 time right now, all major servers are overloaded.

Some helpful tips from Rubeus

Quote:

That's a way to prevent someone from hot-linking images off the server, many smaller game sites use this anti-hotlink feature, like Sugoi and RPG Fan.

Basically what it does is checking to see if the current webpage is where the images are originated.

If you have a firewall that filtered out this information, then of course you will not see any images on the site!

---> So if you add this site to the "trusted zone" in your firewall, then next time your firewall will allow this URL information to pass to the site, and then you can see all the images from here!

some images still dont show...

Joe Redifer · 07-22-2004, 02:43 PM

What browser? Also, some images linked offsite could have changed, thus the reson for the images not showing.

i know this may be off topic, but where can i download real player for free. I accidently uninstalled it off my laptop.

Reko8 · 03-03-2005, 07:27 PM

yeah if abnyone actually still posts on this....I was wondering how to post images. click the image thing and it says to type image location thing and it enver works...it comes out like an address. What do I do?

Drunken Savior · 03-03-2005, 07:43 PM

Somtimes they do not work. But the tags are [IMG.]http://www.imagelink.com[/IMG.]. Just make sure that you take the "." out of each tag. I think it comes out as a link whenever the source page has something that blocks hyperlinking...

Reko8 · 03-03-2005, 10:27 PM

which "."'s cause there's ton. Do I take them all out?

Drunken Savior · 03-03-2005, 11:59 PM

Just out the the tags I posted as an example [.IMG]

Quick question, since this thread has something to do with images. Does anyone know the dimensions of a web-browser window? I'm talking about the part where the content shows, not the entire window (not the addressbar, menu, etc).

Joe Redifer · 10-18-2005, 06:41 PM

Depends. Some users have it full screen while others have it as a floating window. There is no standard.
