images being blocked in emails

[bern5]

i notice images are not displaying in emails - when you view in html and then try and access the image by url you get a 403 error. is there any way around this?

maybe changing permissions on /img folder?

	The website declined to show this webpage
	HTTP 403
	Most likely causes: This website requires you to log in.

What images of which emails?

sorry should of had more detail.

i recd a notification for a Private Message and i couldnt see the 'user profile icons' but ive also just received your notification and i can see you!

 

I also did a test by adding my company logo to all outbound emails and this also didnt show up.

 

maybe a 'hotlinking' or permission setting on my end?

Images are often hidden by default in email clients (also web-based ones) for security reasons. That’s why I don’t even send my site logo with my emails. 

But a server response (403) not to show the image is of course something else. It’s not a default behaviour of the IPS software, neither for avatars, theme images, attachments …Your uploads folder should be public of course.

yes viewing in outlook it would usually say 'right click to download images' this doesnt do that just says 'image cannot be displayed'

 

i am going to double check all the permissions and get back to you
