    Note 2: I just blew away my entire install, reinstalled from scrated, restored my databases from a backup, and the problem still exists.

    I just checked on a test install and could make a link to http://www.images.com and also to the imageshack address you posted above.

    Edit. I didn’t post the image because it would be crazy to post such a huge pic 🙂

    So strange.

    What would make my install decide to break on http://www.images(anything).com and no other sites?

    Even after a fresh install?

    Anything in the web server error logs?

    Total shot in the dark, but is your host running mod_security maybe?

    maybe you should try putting http:// before it. and i agree with handy_solo, maybe its mod_security…

    1) I have put it in the http:// , just left it off here in order to make it quicker to type.

    2) mod_security? Don’t know what that is, but, would it be that specific to allow links to anything under the sun besides a link that contains the straing images in it?

    3) I used to be able to post links and images from imageshack with no problem.. then one day it just stopped.

    Seems like this is unfixable.

    Sadness.

    Did you ever ask your host about mod_rewrite? Or find out if they block offsite links? I dunno man, but this really doesn’t seem like a WP issue — I’d be talking to my host.
