Tricky one this, How would I block someones picture that they use in their
signature on a web forum please?

Ive tried putting the url in my hosts file, however theres a problem - he
uses the same ISP as me (NTL, very large one) and i cannot just block the
root url since all NTL users homepages are subbed from it- mine included.

eg. http://homepage.ntl.com/username/picture.jpg

If I blank out homepage.ntl.com in hosts I cant even see my own webpages,
and adding homepage.ntl.com/username to hosts just does not work (nor does
*username or even homepage.ntl.com/username/picture.jpg).

I tried adding it to IEs restricted sites, however it just strips all the
subs off and leaves homepage.ntl.com- back to square one.

Is there any way of doing this or do we have to put up with it?


Thanks a lot

What is the problem?

If you really want to filter out specific elements have a look at
middleware such as ProxOmitron. E.g. it might intercept the
HTML and remove references to particular images or replace
them with different ones.


BTW are you sure you have the right name?

My nslookup can find home.ntl.com but not homepage.ntl.com

Sorry Robert, thats my fault, I gave the url as an example (you know, a
picture paints a thousand words etc etc) and its not the real url of the ntl
home pages. It is not an image that would be called offensive like porn or
racism so there is no point introducing it, I just hoped there was an easy
way to get rid of it - seems not :(

Thanks for the replies
