Hotlinking - what do you do to prevent it?

[AdultReviews.net]

Hi ppl

What do you do to prevent hotlinking of your pics?

I've done some redirecting with htaccess but it does only redirect the source to my site.
The hotlinked pic apears as a broken link.
It is possible to reload the page and get my site showen in the window?

Don't think you can do that... but what you can do is put this in your htaccess:-
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://your_domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.your_domain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG)$ http://your_server.com/bad.gif [R]

This returns another image in place of the hot linked image. So you could have a small image with your webaddress on it which is shown instead of the broken image.. try that out

That's
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*yourdomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://XX.XX.XX.XX/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*[Jj][Pp][Gg]$|.*[Gg][Ii][Ff]$ http://www.yourdomain.com/ [R,L]


Well that's the code I got before. It don't give a soloution to the problem that the redirection apears as a broken image on the site which hotlink.
