It's no big secret why the TGPX script doesn't allow it in the first place. One word...cheaters. I scan through my gallery data base on a regular basis, looking for "bad" galleries. Those would be galleries that don't load at all, broken pics, thumbs or movies, redirected urls and more.

Back in the day it wasn't completely uncommon for a sponsor to offer list of galleries that we would take the time to load. Then a few weeks later the galleries are all down and the traffic is redirected to a site where we as affiliates got no credit for any sales. For those of us that take submissions it also protected us from those submitters changing a url once we accept their gallery.

In any case, it would be great to be able to get a dump with the "direct url". That way there would at least be a choice.

Thanks for getting back to me on it.
has anyone even tried to whitelist http://join.simonscans.com/ at TGPX admin at all?
settings > manage whitelist. then click on the lil green + sign and do that



it worked for me.

ps i hope this update make things even greater for simonscans
