What's the expected behavior when someone tries to access an image directly, i.e. types http://www.example.com/gallery3/var/albums/album/image.jpg into the address bar? Here's what I'm getting:

User is "everybody" & everybody is not allowed to "view full size" => Dang page
User is registered & registered users are allowed to view full size => Image loads

Is the "everybody" result correct? I ask because I interpret the dang page to mean there is a problem with G3, rather than G3 is functioning correctly and a user tried to do something that's not allowed.

Thanks,

That is the current behavior.
there is a ticket for this:

FAQ: Are my photos secure? They're right there on my website!
