.htaccess & hotlinking pictures

have you sorted this out yet?

best way is to drop a htacess in your root and allow requests from your domain only

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://your-ip [NC]
RewriteRule [^/]+\.(exe|mpeg|mpg|avi|mp3|gif|jpg|JPG|GIF|MP3|AVI|JS|js)$ - [F]
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/.+$ - [F]
AddHandler server-parsed html
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yourdomain.com/404.htm

Actually I have sorted it...I hadn't realized just how much you could do with htaccess

I'm glad I sorted it out a week ago...someone decided to fusker me recently and it would have cost a pretty penny in bandwidth if I didn't have this in place, lol.
