anyone knows why sometimes work and some others don't?

ok here goes one more question.. in the .htaccess i can add the sites that CAN link the images, BUT, in other site i want to allow the images being linked in POSTS in many sites, but i don't want certain pages to link them, so is there something i can do to "allow ALL sites to link them BUT i DON'T want this site to link them neither this other"?

thanks

ok here goes one more question.. for other site, is there something i can do to "allow ALL sites to link the images BUT i DON'T want this site to link them neither this other"? (some specific sites that hot link all the images)

thanks

Quote:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
That code covers browsers that don't report a referrer. So sometimes it could possibly cause people on certain sites or even your own site to not be able to see the images. Fairly rare, but it can happen, in case that question ever comes up.

Now, to allow ALL sites to link to the images, but only deny from certain sites, remove:

Quote:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?pikaflash.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
Then for each site you want to deny access to the links, add in this format:

Quote:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^(.)?sitetodeny.com(/)?.*$ [NC]
That should work. As for why it sometimes allows some people to see the images, I think the "!^http://" in your site name is the culprit. The HTTP_REFERER field is not always going to contain the "http://" part.

Hate to sound like such a newbie, but I'm having the problem you just described. I activated hotlink protection but at home using my Avant Browser my website doesn't show any images. What file do I edit to fix this and how?

In explorer my site http://www.3d-realm.com shows up normal with images, with any other browser it comes up with red x's all over

Actually right now I have it turned off, because of several features this month I can't risk turning it on yet without finding out how to allow other browsers to see images when on the site
