People linking images from my site

Matthew-1985 · 11 Jul 2003 at 19:26

Is there any way to stop people doing this? Like instead of displaying the image it will display a different image? Something saying like "stolen from mattsbabes.co.uk" or something?

And if this can be done if there a way to let certain images be hotlinked? So I can still post images on forums and stuff?

^ Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Augmented. That was just what I needed.

That will stop people stealing the pics of yummy Reiko. She's all mine.

Edit: Just set it up and went to the site with my stolen picture and it seems to be downloading 100s of KBs. :confused:

It is. What would happen if you put the .htaccess in the folder with the leechers picture? I think I might have. :confused:

It seems to be stopping some of my sigs working now.

How do you remove the .htaccess file? It don't show up in Cute FTP or IE. :confused:

Edit: Never mind I found a guide on how to show all files in Cute FTP and my sigs seem to be working again.
