I'm not so sure how you can test it out. I had actually wondered the same thing and the only way my pea brain could thing of was to test it out by direct linking to one of my protected images from a forum that I had joined (like sometimes you can direct link your own images, avatars, buttons). But maybe there is a simpler way of testing it. You could possibly be able to create your own html file linking to the file, save it to your desktop and opening it. Make sure you're connected to the internet of course. Sorry if I wasn't much help. :) cart, you’re welcome! I’m not so sure how you can test it out.

So, only where those images were the ones that weren't showing up. But I finally realised that for some reason, when I had my internet security enabled is when they wouldn't show up. Yet, when I would disable it they would show up. I really don't know why.. maybe something to do with cookies because it happens quite often with other sites images as well.
