Every graphic on the KDXRider site routes to a different URL.
For example:
This URL is for the "contact us" photo
http://kdxrider.net/forums/templates/su ... t-page.gif
I can copy and paste it to a new tab and execute. When I do, I get routed straight to the page Vince got the Bart Butt photo. (I don't have that page right now, it's only on my home machine, but I will write it down tonight and post it here tomorrow)
So, the problem is that there must be some virus or small program that redirects every .jpg page from kdxrider to this website with Barts Butt and therefore EVERY graphic from my home PC on the KDXrider site is Barts Butt.
I hope that makes sense. I sure wish I would have written down that forwarded website last night for the Barts Butt.
How can I get my home PC to stop routing all KDXrider graphics to this other website with Barts Butt?

The forwarded site that all the graphics take me to: WHAT IS THIS?!?!
Inda: I'll take you up on the offer for XP. I'm ready to dump theis whole system and strart fresh.

So.. your going to contact them and tell them that I'm taking 3kb of their bandwidth everytime someone crosslinks a file to someone elses site?
I'm confused!
Guys... I picked that pic for a reason.
You see I have the option to provide an alternate pic to be displayed instead of just blocking the file transfer. So... I picked Bart mooning your ass for taking the bandwidth to post a a pic from this site.
It seems innocent enough on the outside but those large files add up in bandwidth everytime someone pulls that file up on other sites... I get hit with the file being pulled down from this site.
Get it now?

I just don't understand why I get barts instead of the regular graphics? I'm not linking anything. I'm beginning to think the KDX site is somehow thinking that every graphic I'm viewing from it's site is a cross link by mistake . I'm so sick of looking at his stupid bart all over the kdx page !!!
Hey! I just noticed a flower graphic!! Not a bartbutt. Here is the link:

Now why would every KDX graphic link to the bart butt except this one? Because it is not on the KDX page. Here's a little experiment: I'm going to link a photo from another site here and see if it cross links to bart:

That won't do it... it's the other way around.

o.k. I see the yamaha generator!!! The only graphic that isn't bart!!!
Inda: could you turn off the feature that links outside refernces to graphics on your site to the bartbutt site as a test to see if the butts go away for me? I'm guessing they will. That for some reason your site thinks that I'm at fault for viewing your graphocis???

I still think you haven't went to some other site... get completely off of kdxrider.net...go into tools/internet options and hit the delete files button have you?

Ski - At home do you browse with the pictures disabled because your using dialup? If you do try re-enabling the show pictures automagically option and see if the barts go away.

Yes, I did. I even deleted firefox and reloaded it. BTW I don't see bart from the
http://www.woodsrider site. Every graphic on this, the kdxrider site boots me to the bart page. A graphic that is not on this site like the generator link I put up, shows up as it is supposed to. Only graphics from
http://kdxrider.net/forums/images are being rerouted to
