Forbidden 403 errors / images broken

[Hall of Famer]

Well I am not sure if this will work, but let's give it a try. Open your siggy.php file and find the following lines:

PHP Code:

header ($contentType); 
$status = readfile($image); 
if($status == "" or $status == "false" or $status == "FALSE"){ 
    // Reading the file failed, so show an error...      
    header ("text/plain"); 
    die("Readfile appears to be disabled on your host."); 
} 


Replace by:

PHP Code:

header ($contentType); 
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $image);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch); 


Incase you get an error message, please report to me so I can troubleshoot it further. I am not quite familiar with curl functions myself, so I really cannot guarantee that it will definitely work for this time being.
