Drew, are you doing some changes in that department?
I just uploaded something and the pic got all greyed out with 'adultdvdtalk.com' text printed on it... ???

It means you need to go through the front door acceptance screen again.

Yes, you are right. I did in fact need to go through it again, just never realized it's related.
So, that happens when session expires.. or something?

If I remember correctly, it has something to do with anti-leeching stuff that Drew has implemented. He can do a much better job of explaining it.

I tried to upload a mage once, but his beard got all tangled up in my scanner.

It's been months since I've seen those greyed out images for whatever reason.
(I thought he meant he was uploading his mange.)

That's what happens if the "I'm old enough to look at naked people" cookie is expired or not present. I do that so people don't hotlink to our images. The image is generated on the fly so it's easy to decrease the quality and watermark it. We don't have a hotlinking problem.
The cookie expires after 24 hours. So it must have timed out. There's some code throughout most of the site to prevent that from happening during a current session. I'm curious what page you saw the greyed-out image? Was it immediately after you uploaded the image on the upload.adultdvdtalk.com server?

Yes, it was. Since I'd never seen that before, I assumed you changed something. I then pasted the img code in the post's body and hit preview. That is where I saw welcoming screen instead of actual preview.
I am actually not sure why my cookie has expired. I was reading the thread, hit reply and then minimized FF to search for the pic on my hard drive. I returned to upload the image after maybe 10-15 minutes.

The cookie expiration was a coincidence. It just means you happened to click through our entrance page roughly 24 hours prior. It expires after 24 hours. We have no way to know the expiration date/time though so I try to set it as a session cookie too. There are a few places in the site that haven't been switched to handle the session version too so you'll occasionally see the watermarked version, though it's a very random/rare thing these days.

Thanks for clearing this up.
