Cannot see Hotlink images

[adydb]

When looking at certain sites I cannot see images...just black squares saying "Hotlinking Is Not Allowed"

These are proper sites, not porn or anything.

Does someone please have any advice?

Thanks

There is nothing you can do about this.

A hotlink is when somebody posts a direct connection on one site to an image (or file) on another site as opposed to a pointer to the URL. The original host may not allow this outside link to their servers and so the picture is replaced by another image which contains the message you have encountered.

Here is a better explanation.
