Original message:

We are currently making some software patches and as part of the process image hotlinking is temporarily disabled. This means that if you paste the URL of an image into one your posts, the image will NOT display like it normally does -- instead you'll just see the URL.

Once the patches are complete, things should return to normal and any image URL you posted will display as an image again.

We apologize for the inconvenience -- thanks for your patience while we work on this. Hopefully it will not take too long.
