if some one is not logging in but visits our website , he is a guest member. you can control guest permissions from the admin panel.

but if some one uses my website resources , hotlink my images in emails , sent it to large yahoo groups , place my website hotlinked images in forums , there is no option in VB4 to control that kind of hotlinking. and there was no modification available to stop the abuse of attachment.php. in this mod you can stop this kind of hotlinking. and save your server resources.

Well, you are wrong. I just tested in on the com with an attachment.php link from my site. If I was logged into my site at the same time, then, yes, the link would show the actual attachment. But if I was logged out of my site and clicked on the link that I posted on the com, it showed the registration error page from my site when I clicked on that link. So, your attachment.php code is ONLY good if the person is also logged into the site they are using it from, or if you allow guests to view and download attachments.

If you have the replacement image for the hotlinking on your site, the resources should be the same on your server as it still has to retrieve the image from your server. ;)

boofo may be i am unable to explain my point of view correctly to you..

let me explain it again.

1) first of all this mods stops simple hotlinking. and if some one hotlinks your images , it replaces it with your website banner or warning message.

2) secondly if my website images are placed and hotlinked using attachment.php then if will not show the original image but it will show website banner or warning message.

for example this is an image hosted on my website.
http://www.nidokidos.org/attachment....1&d=1298731742

a- if you will try to open it as its , it will be replaced by nidokidos banner.
a- if you will see it in google images , it will work fine.
b- if anyone , guest or member will see this image on nidokidos website pages , it will work fine.
for example see this image posted on this page.
but

if it is hotlinked in "any other" website , it will show a banner or warning message.

now see a website has placed it on it page , (may be using bing) , and as i have not allowed that website or bing to show my image on their web pages , they are getting a banner from my webserver.

please see this link
http://connect.in.com/nidokidos-org/...527553176.html

this is for what i made this mod. i hope you understand it now.
it has nothing to do with registrations , / members / guest.

Where this file should actually be placed. Suppose I have www.mysite.com as domain and www.mysite/forum as forum root.

Should I place it in domain or in forum root directory?

you have to add it in your /forum directory.

I added it to the root and it works fine from there for me.
