Every time I click on a BA Image Uploader thumbnail it just brings me to the default BA image for hotlinking.
This is what happens when I click on the images in the first post here:

It even happens when I click on the pic I just posted here ^ o_0

It works fine over here, using Google Chrome 21, as I see you are also using it.

Do you use a proxy server to connect to the internet?
Did you install any software recently or updates?
Did you already try to clean out all cookies/cached files from the browser?
Does it also do it on other sites containing a hotlink blocker?
Does it also do it on other browsers installed on your machine?

There is just not enough information in your post about it to make a determination on what it can be.

I had that yesterday, Ctrl+F5 fixed it.

Well it works on IE9 on the same machine just not chrome 21, though it used to.
I tried on 2 different machines, though they are synced to the same google acct.
I use adblock plus, scriptno and better popup blocker, but none of that stopped it from working before.
CTRL+F5, clearing all caches etc. doesn't make any difference.
I don't know what other sites use hotlink blocker so I didn't test that.
No Proxies or any other fancy interweb stuff like peerblock nor software firewall.

I have to run out for a bit, but I will try on a clean install when I get back and try to sort it out.

If you encounter this problem, change the URL from ".com" to ".co.uk" or vice versa and it should work...

Also try it without settings up the sync on a fresh install of Google Chrome and then sync it and if it does the same (block images) after syncing, it is something in the sync why it blocks it.
If it doesn't, try to install the extensions one by one.

Yeah, that's the plan, thanks!

Ok, it works on a clean chrome profile, gonna start adding extensions one by one and see what's going on here.


Edit:
Guess it was something in the synced settings. This time I only synced my passwords and bookmarks. I reinstalled each extension I had previously, one by one and the problem is gone.

Thanks for all the tips.

This is probably something that disables referrers.

What do you mean? One of my Chrome security settings?

Yes. Maybe also some extension. Like anti-spy, anonymous, etc.

Yeah it had to be a Chrome setting, because I reinstalled scriptno, adblock plus and better popup blocker and it still works. Odd, since I don't usually fiddle around in settings. :/ About the only things I do is, change home page, show bookmarks and home button and default download directory. I don't mess with cookie settings or anything like that.

Edit:
This is messed up, it just stopped working again, but when I change to .com to .co.uk it DOES work like DeFacto said. WTF could be causing this problem? I whitelisted BA for all my security addons, and tried disabling the extensions again to no avail.. this is definitely a head scratcher.

The site has a hotlinking protection for betaarchive.com adress, but apparantly betaarchive.co.uk is not protected despite being a redirect to .com, but still it works... I think it's that way, may someone correct if I'm wrong...
