How did you find that? o_O

Nice find and I doubt that's something a regular member could answer...

Why can't we access it? Because it's the part of the server where the avatars and other images are stored.

Some sites or parts of their servers (i.e. the Windows time server at time.windows.com) have blocks set up so that you cannot even access certain segments that are used globally and are important, such as the avatars. That eliminates the risk of causal attack entirely; you can't modify the images without access to the server.

It's a safety thing; I used to have to do it all the time when I did my webdev stuff.

Good point, Save Ferris, I didn't think about the avatars being stored in there.

On that note: I guess there wouldn't be anything too interesting in there other than a bunch of pictures etc. I doubt there's going to be alternative forum skins if that's what you're thinking.

Actually, I'm working on some avatars on the side right now; someday they may find their way into the 7theme inbox.

Ah, look at the lonely people...

All that is is a restricted folder where the folders and files for the group themes are stored.

He put them in a email and sent them to me before they were destroyed and lost forever. You have good taste in picks. lmao XD

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

Maybe that's where themes and avatars are submitted to wait for be approved or rejected.
