Let users link to your smilies on other boards?

Some of the users on my board has asked it it's ok that they link to my forum's smilies when they post on other boards. I'm not sure what that will have to say for my forum and my server if I say yes.

What are your policy for this on your boards?

No.

Doing will means bandwidth is being used up on your server for no reason. You should prevent hotlinking by using .htaccess or mod_rewrite in any case so this should be prevented automatically to prevent bandwidth leeching.

Erwin - This "hotlinking" protection has been mentioned many times, but noone has yet ever posted an example of a .htaccess protection...

For those of us with Ensim, we don't have the luxury of mod_rewrite:(

Could you post the .htaccess protection?:)

I once had it on my computer somewhere, but I can't seem to find it at the moment.

I did, however, come upon this: http://htmlbasix.com/disablehotlinking.shtml

It might help you out a little.

In .htaccess in the images folder, add these contents:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

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

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

RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG)$ - [F]

Change the domain name to your own. Placing it in just the images folder will make it work for all subfolders in there.

would sticking that in the sites main dir let it work on all sub folders too?

No .htaccess file is shown in my images folder.. I'm using FTP Voyager.
I tried downloading the 2.3.0 zip and looking in there for such a file and couldn't find one.

Do I have to create one, and if so, how?

Make sure it's showing hidden files, although it might just not exist.
