make a file called .htaccess & add the following then upload to your root dir

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://ServerIP/.*$      [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://ServerIP$      [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://YourSite.org/.*$      [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://YourSite.org$      [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.YourSite.org/.*$      [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.YourSite.org$      [NC]

RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp|zip|rar|mpg|mp3)$ http://www.SomeOtherSite.org/Theif.gif [R,NC]

The RewriteRule Are the extensions you want protected

Why would this matter? I am trying to protect my images from hotlinking to someone elses websites. as you can see in the post above, i was able to display an image hosted on my site directly in the post above. The .htaccess mod doesn;t seem to be protecting my image.

Thanks
Dave
P.S. I will look at the host. Do you host there? Are they in the U.S? how's the support?

RewriteEngine needs to be on

& you'll see the image as you have the cookie from your site-

As for the hosting yes im hosting there & support is very good
the servers are in the us yea

The host i use bytenix.net auto protect your imgs from hotlinking
