Forum:Images Server Redirect

Had a thought today.

Wouldn't it be wise for images.wikia.com/wikianame to redirect to wikianame.wikia.com ?

For example, let's say someone on a forum somewhere posts this image url: http://images.wikia.com/redwall/images/4/49/RedwallUSCover.jpg

Another user wants to see what site it came from, so they type http://images.wikia.com/redwall into their browser.

But they get the FORBIDDEN message. They'll never get to see the Wikia.

 * http://redwall.wikia.com/images/4/49/RedwallUSCover.jpg also links to that image. You could always hand out that link instead. Also, most people would strip out the /redwall to. (Plus I don't think linking to a image here from elsewhere is a very good idea. I prefer adding hotlinking protection whenever I setup a server which is publicly accessible. ~Dantman(talk) tricks Apr 23, 2007 @ 21:41 (UTC)


 * Ah, didn't know that about the servers. Thanks --LordTBT Talk! 21:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
