"Smugmug" not wanted in galleries URL

This past week during lunch at work (non-photographic workplace) I was assisting a co-worker in lighting techniques. When I explained the advantages of using flash in daylight or when shooting into a back-lit area, he was interested. I decided to show him some examples from my site. I typed my URL (www.joviphotography.com) into the browser and my site popped up in short order. However, when I attempted to go to one of my wedding galleries, I received an "Access Denied" popup from our local system which has a system policy against "mass storage sites".

Upon further review I found that while my "parent" site did not include any reference to smugmug.com, my gallery sites did include it - example: http://joviphoto.smugmug.com/Weddings.

Since I have recently taken a sabbatical from professional photography and after much consideration, downgraded my site from "professional" status, this may have an impact. I just need to know for sure - is there a way around this, or did my move to something less than "professional" cause this. Do I need to move from "Power" to "Portfolio" or "Business" to reacquire a pure url?

Thanks for the assist!

Hi Joe,

Sounds like IT is blocking .smugmug.com
Since you have a custom domain, just change the links in your navbar to use it instead of your .smugmug.com URL.

For instance, change the wedding link in your navbar from http://joviphoto.smugmug.com/Weddings to http://www.joviphotography.com/weddings

Then do the same for all the rest of your navbar links.
