I don't want sites to steal bandwidth from my server. How do I make it so that if they link to an image, it looks like a dead page, or shows some default image that says, this image that says some sort of warning.

Thanks in advance.

UHh I guess you can always install a php antileecher, and then change the coding in post and reply, so when it generates a url for the attatchment it would put the url of the antileecher first
ex:
http://yoursite.com/antileech.php?http://url-of-file.com/st.zip

I'm using this method and it works perfect:

It doesn't work all that great, but it's better than nothing. :(

Thanks though.

I saw this one Javascript site with a javascript you could put on your page and if anybody put your page in a frame on their page, it loaded your page into their browser, instead of the frame. So the people goign there ended up going to your site instead of The site they were on. Don't remember seeing something about pictures, but there probably is something.

Then you could make the picture that comes up instead of the picture they linked to say:

"i hate you all. Leave this site and never come back. Or I will hack into your computer and format your C drive. I wish you all would die. I am a loser. Somebody kill me. This site sucks. I am going to upload deadly viruses to it, so never come back or your computer will break."

hehehe...

No hack needed at all - just use a .htaccess file (as long as you are using Apache with mod_rewrite).

.htaccess with the following content, and upload to root directory:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://IPADDRESS [NC]
RewriteRule attachment.php [F]
