I've been getting these 404s from certain shots in Gallery for a while, and I simply can't fix them!
here's a slice of the AWStats report showing two rogue file calls:

travelsignposts.com/destination/var/resizes/ChristmasinEurope/London-Christmas/christmas-in-london_DSC0008.jpg%3Fm%3D1298553274
travelsignposts.com/destination/var/albums/ChristmasinEurope/London-Christmas/christmas-in-london_DSC0001.jpg%3Fm%3D1367129373

There's no referrer.

These shots exist, if you call them up without the %3Fm%3D1298553274 or %3Fm%3D1367129373 they are right there on the screen.

Interestingly, this error seems limited to a particular directory/album.

Anyone got any ideas how to stop these 404s? The other weird thing is that I would not have thought these images would be particularly popular (especially at this time of year) and we're talking 10000+ 404s here.

Of course, this could be a hack attempt of some kind, but it's been going on for quite a while now.

All help gratefully received!

Well, I still haven't solved this, and even though I'm now serving the gallery using Google PageSpeed as a CDN, I'm still getting Google showing several hundred errors on these links each day. A search on Google for the images only turns up this thread, and a search for the image without the extra suffix just turns up my own image. Does Gallery add anything similar to what I'm seeing at any stage in the back end?

Frankly, I'm at a bit of a loss!
