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.

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