To fix this I believe the following line should be removed from the <head> tag in each themes theme.html file:

<base href="${url}" />

See attached file for changes.

Dave

at various times from various IP addresses, but always with the same "Ubuntu-feisty" User-Agent string. Blam in feisty is apparently trying to find its theme images on the blog server rather than on local disk.

Hi Dan,

As you probably already know, this is due to the <base href="${url}" /> tag saying that your URL is where the relative URLs should start from.

Hopefully someone can integrate this change as it does leave blam somewhat broken, and making useless HTTP requests.

Cheers,
Dave
