Images on site not accessible

[raywjohnson]

I do not see any graphics (buttons, icons, etc). A check of any image shows:


Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /forum/images/misc/navbits_start.gif on this server.

Thought you should know!

Never mind. Now showing graphics again.

PS: you are fast!

We didn't do anything. It was probably an issue with your computer.

[raywjohnson]

Well, my computer cannot return "Forbidden" response codes from your server. No matter. I will not bother letting you know if there is a problem with the website.

We are interested in if you have a problem. You said it suddenly started working and I knew we had not done something, so I assumed it was something with your computer.

No need to be touchy.

I don't know if it applies to the OP's situation but I know if I follow an https link off Google to vBulletin.org, as opposed to a normal http link, the https page will display but all the graphics will be broken/not show.

[Paul M]

Thats expected, vbulletin is not running as https.

I understand this but Google doesn't... Like half the links here from google are to the https version of a page. Might be useful to redirect everyone to the http version or use the canonical tag to force google to index on http only.
