WHAT A BIG PROBLEM I HAVE.....

Bandwidth stealers...

people are using our hosted avatars on their sites... consuming a hell of a lot of bandwidth, is there a hack to stop this?

changeing avatar names daily and everywhere its displayed?

or something like that?

please help :ermm:

There is a piece of code you can put in the avatar.php and attachment.php files to stop this...

Here :

$referers = array ('www.yoursite.com','yoursite.com','your sites ip address');

function check_referer($referers){
if (count($referers)){
$found = false;
$temp = explode('/',getenv("HTTP_REFERER"));
$referer = $temp[2];
for ($x=0; $x < count($referers); $x++){
if (ereg ($referers[$x], $referer)) {
$found = true;
}
}
if (!$found){
exit;
}
return $found;
} else {
return true;
}
}

check_referer($referers);

Just insert that after <?php and before $noheader=1;

//require("./global.php");

You will need to change the "www.yoursite.com", "yoursite.com", and "your sites ip address" to your info;)

.htaccess tutorial in this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=40079&highlight=.htaccess) can also help you configure your .htaccess to prevent stealing of ALL images of your site..

Unless you have a dedicated ip, your ip you put as your host's ip...

Your ip should be in the admin panel of your site...
