| Missing image picture Is it possible to display a image, if a hotlinked picture could not be found? By this i mean, if i or any of my members hotlink an image (which i permit) and the image is deleted or moved, by default it doesnt display anything. But iwant to be able to get it to display a small logo with something like "oops, we cant find the requested image", this is something similar to what Photobucket use. Is it possible to do this?

| For something like that to work, I think you would need the image hosted locally and have them all logged into a database. A script would then check the files vs the database and if the image doesn't exist it would display the default image. I'm not sure if there is a way to do that sort of thing with remotely hosted images.
