I wasn't sure whether to post this in GD or in the Windows section. I'm trying to view the picture on Tinypic. When I inspect the page's content, I can see that the image's URL is http://oi51.tinypic.com/2en9bva.jpg

Putting it in the address bar however redirects me back to the host page. Any idea how to get around that? I went into about:config which is kinda like a registry editor for Firefox. Change the value in network.http.sendRefererHeader from 2 to 0 but to no avail. It redirects in Google Chrome as well.

Is there any workaround? A solution for Photobucket would be good too, but PB isn't as bad because at least you can get to the source image when inspecting the page.

Imgur does it as well, but that is the lesser of all image hosting evils, so I'll forgive that site!

Thanks :-)
 
Cheers guys. When I right click > open in new tab, it still takes me back to the host page :mad: Gah these image hosts are so annoying. I prefer the old web 1.0 days when the ISPs gave us webspace.

Might have to disable JS? I'll look into wget as well.

P.S. peterwalkley - I managed to open your image ok without a redirect.
