Re-touch doesn't work
I'm using 1.3.13 and when anyone goes to re-touch, it instead of showing the original image, it shows a white canvas.
Is there a way to fix it?

I've accepted you so you can now log in and such. I don't know and some of my users want to draw pictures but can't do it all in one sitting.

Re: Re-touch doesn't work
Rats. Your server is using an HTTP referrer policy.
What that means is, images may only be downloaded from the server if the HTTP referrer is the same as the web site's address. If the referrer is empty, then any attempt to download an image will result in a redirect to the host's home site.
To see this in action, click on one of the images in the oekaki, and you will be able to see the image file directly from the pictures folder. The address in your web browser would look like this (minus the space):
http: //pandalocity.awardspace.com/oekaki/pictures/PO_14.png
However, if you were to try to look at that image directly from this forum by clicking this link:
http://pandalocity.awardspace.com/oekak … /PO_14.png
... you will not see the image. Instead, you'll be taken to the AwardSpace home page.
Most of the time this does not cause problems, but the oekaki applets do not transmit referrers, so they cannot download the images. That means retouch does not work on AwardSpace accounts.
HTTP referrer policies are used to prevent hotlinking and leeching, but they can cause a number of issues like this. There's no way to fix this unless AwardSpace changes their security policy.
