How to see the pics if there is a RED X

[primera man]

Just been over in Off Topic and read this....it works for me and should work for others who are getting just the Red X and no pic.
A big thankyou to Gonthrax


Just for your information, untill all these server move bugs get worked out, if you see the corrupt X for a picture some one has uploaded do this:


Right Click on the X > Properties


Copy the URL shown after "Address(URL)"

Paste that into your browsers address bar.

Now replace "http://www.automotiveforums.com" with "http://139.81.142.25"

This should work if the reason you can't see the pic is because of the server move.

I added this server IP address to "hosts" file.

~Microsoft Windows OS user
*NT/2000/XP
OS-drive:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
*98/ME
OS-drive:\WINDOWS\hosts (or hosts.sam)

-add like this
"139.81.142.25 www.automotiveforums.com"

this would be the solution of Red X problem.
but if AF's server change IP address again, you have to change this.
