Embedding of Inkbunny images directly (hotlinking) on other sites is now blocked. You can still have links on other sites that users click to go see the submission just fine.
The new blocking method applies to all assets so flash, video, etc are affected too.
Basically it means LINKS are fine and will keep working but anything that makes an Inkbunny asset appear live and embedded on a page on another site should now fail.
The reason for this is because people were embedding the direct source to Inkbunny hosted images on other sites (like tumblr) so they were displayed live on those other sites and that was draining our bandwidth pretty badly.
We're not sure of the impact of this on people using the API with apps that connect to Inkbunny. Developers using the API may need to send a blank referrer or a fake referrer of https://inkbunny.net/ to be able to access the images without being blocked. If there are any sudden new access issues with the API, please let us know.
If this change appears to be affecting other legitimate access methods, clickable links, etc, please let us know!
Swell! Hotlinking in my best opinion should be blocked. Although, it should almost be allowed, if it's ur own image... and you mark it public. This is just as good though I think, as there needs to be something helping to keep things inside of Inkbunny. ;-) Things shouldn't leave the site, unless by authors strict permission. ;-) I Give It Thumbs Up.
