Hotlink protection?

Van Hellseek · 19 Aug 2006 at 12:26

Some irritating myspacer is hotlinking pictures from my image gallery. The problem is that when I go to my CP and enable hotlink protection, the images on my forums (buttons/rank images etc) don't work.

How do I enable hotlinking without it affecting my forums?

cPanel?

'Enable Hotlink Protection:
Urls to Allow Access:' << Add your domain(s) in, with and without www.

Tick 'Allow direct requests (ie. entering the url to an image in your browser)'

Should do it
