A large and popular photo forum, DPReview, recently changed its system for embedding images via URL...they claim many photo hosting sites shouldn't have an issue, but a few may - PBase is one of them. This is the explanation from Dpreview staff:
"Instead, we now use "hotlinking", linking the image directly to the remote URL. This means that it's not DPReview's servers, but the visitor's browser that's fetching the image. This also means that it's now subject to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), an HTTP mechanism that allows for some control over this kind of direct linking. In other words, some domains can choose to block these kinds of requests outright (PBase), some may add a watermark (Photobucket), some may choose to replace it with a placeholder image, and others allow it with no restrictions.
I hope the feature continues to be useful in its new incarnation. If you run your own website and you notice that your web images are getting blocked, you can search for documentation for enabling CORS for your web server or host."
Is there any chance that PBase can enable this CORS? I have been sharing PBase images on that site for nearly 15 years now, so it's unfortunate to lose that functionality in my PBase galleries...though I know this was DPReview's change and fault, not PBase's. Still, it was worth asking if this is a change that PBase could or would make.
Thank you.
