xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxTired of constantly seeing urls like?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWish you could just see the image already?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWell, you're in luck.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThere is a surprisingly fast and easy way to remedy this situation.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFirst, go to My Gaia > Account Settings.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxOnce you're on the account settings page, scroll all the way down.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxYou should see the text "Image Display" and a dropdown box beside it.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThat dropdown box is probably set to "Show Whitelisted Images."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxChange it to "Show All Images."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxDon't worry. This doesn't "lessen" your security in any way.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxBeing on "Whitelisted Images" means that you can only see images that hosted on Photobucket.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxBut due to photobucket's lengthy urls, there are many Gaians who turn to tinypic, tinyurl, imageshack, and imgur.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxSetting your status to "Show All Images" simply allows you to see images from all image host sites.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxNow that you're done, revel in the glory of all the images you can finally see.
