Hey guys,

I have a few users posting their album images on other sites which are getting quite a few hits, thus using my bandwidth and my server for a means of displaying the image.

Is there a way, I can disallow this? Maybe the image changes on all other sites except my own to "This image came from blah blah blah blah, Please Click here to see the image" or something similar?

Thank you very much,

Greg

Creating/editing the .htaccess file should do the job.

You will basically need to find the file pattern of what the image would look like (php file in this case) and then modify the tutorials above to match the file.

Cpanel has an option to disable hotlinking aswell, it allows you to have a whitelist so you can hotlink on certain sites.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
