Random picture display

[Mercurius]

I'm puzzled by a feature of the random picture display at the top of each forum page.

Normally it works OK, but if a click on an image that looks like an artwork, drawing, or cartoon, I get the message:


"You do not have permission to view the images in this category."


I need permission to look at an artwork?

Hi,

Thanks for posting.

Could you provide URL of an image next time you get this error?

On a side note, that feature will be replaced with a better version soon.

Thanks and enjoy!

OK - I scrolled to the first artwork I could find (it looks like a WW2 German poster) and clicked - and got the 'no permission' message.

Those pictures were taken offline and are not available to anybody.

You do continue to see their thumbnails which is why this version of the random pictures will be replaced with better one in next few weeks.
