There doesn't seem to be an independent MyPublicPix website.  It automatically redirects to www.imagearn.com.  Just get your galleries from the imagearn website and IHG should work okay.

Do you have a gallery of "mypublicpix" images, for example, a thread where someone posted a bunch of pics that were hosted on "mypublicpix"  I could possibly make a work-around for the re-direction.

Here's just such a gallery: http://forum.anothersite.co.uk/nsfw-amateur-pics/176197-amateur-lesbians-32.html

Please note that this issue actually involves a double redirection.  

The original URL is:
http://www3.mypublicpix.com/index.php?img=1238633517_1233848074_amateurbumps.com_20090205_03_021.jpg

and it redirects to:

http://www.imagearn.com/imagearn.php?img=1238633517_1233848074_amateurbumps.com_20090205_03_021.jpg

which in turn redirects to:
http://imagearn.com/image.php?id=823673

I worked on it a little bit and came up with the following but it still doesn't work.  Not sure what the problem is:

Code:

<host id="mypublicpix">
<urlpattern>^http:\/\/www\d*\.mypublicpix\.com\/index\.php\?img=.+</urlpattern>
<searchpattern><![CDATA[function(pageData, pageUrl) {
var retVal = new Object();

retVal.imgUrl = pageUrl.replace(/(http:\/\/www\d*\.mypublicpix\.com\/index\.php)(.+)/, "http://imagearn.com/imagearn.php$2");
retVal.status = "REQUEUE";

return retVal;
}]]></searchpattern>
</host>

Ah!  I got it!

This was very tricky.  The basic way this works is to first write out a new url pattern for the new site.  This gets us past the first redirect.  The second redirect was trickier.  I had to start up an AJAX request to get the second URL.  Then I had to read the header response in the second page to get the third url.  Then the third url is requeued.

mypublicpix.com seems to now be entirely defunct so this new search pattern might as well replace the existing one.

Code:

<host id="mypublicpix">
<urlpattern>^http:\/\/www\d*\.mypublicpix\.com\/index\.php\?img=.+</urlpattern>
<searchpattern><![CDATA[function(pageData, pageUrl) {
var retVal = new Object();
var newUrl;
var req = new XMLHttpRequest()

newUrl = pageUrl.replace(/(http:\/\/www\d*\.mypublicpix\.com\/index\.php)(.+)/, "http://imagearn.com/imagearn.php$2");

req.open("GET", newUrl, false);
req.send(null);

newUrl = req.getResponseHeader("refresh");
newUrl = newUrl.match(/url=(http:\/\/[^:"'<>]+)/i);

if (!newUrl)
{
retVal.imgUrl = null;
retVal.status = "ABORT";
}
else
{
retVal.imgUrl = newUrl[1];
retVal.status = "REQUEUE";
}

return retVal;
}]]></searchpattern>
</host>

Bravo Zeph!  I am truly impressed with the use of AJAX!  Now that is thinking out of the box and I like that!  I hope to see more of your work around.

Thanks.  I struggled with that for hours before I tried to read the http header with ajax.
