After you press the "prt scr | sysrq" keyboard button, open up an image editor (Such as MSPaint) and paste it in there (Ctrl+v). Save it as a gif.

No, it wasn't. If you view sen throw anything but the main browser. (Like if you try to translate.) All images get blocked and replaced witht hat painful message.

Eh...
Hotlink protection was enabled.
It stops people from directly using our files... such as crappy sites that want a pretend map database but don't want to use their bandwidth, so they use ours.

Although... the problem shouldn't happen to you. Are you using a proxy?
Or if you were using http://staredit.net/ would have done it too, because for some reason that wasn't in the exception list.

I turned the hotlinking off for now. You'll have to clear your cache if the image still pops up. I will turn it back on as soon as I notice any excessive leeching though... Maybe I'll turn off that image, if I can find it. I'll probably have to ask yoshi because I don't see it anywhere ;o

(on a related note about this... some people were directly using some of our .css items, such as the starcraft cursor. Someone was even handing it out as "cool code" by telling other noob webmasters to throw it into their .css file without removing the direct link to sen. As soon as yoshi found that out, he did some special hotlink protection just for the cursor... a couple starcraft wannabe sites had a picture of an ass for a cursor until they figured out how to fix it ;o)
