Re: .htaaccess protection for hotlinking

Admin CP => vBulletin Options => Site Name / URL / Contact Details => Homepage URL

What do you have that option set to?

Re: .htaaccess protection for hotlinking

i have it set to www.cheapuksupplements.com

However, the same site is also at www.cheapuksupplements.co.uk if that matter.

The forum is at forum.cheapuksupplements.com and also forum.cheapuksupplements.co.uk and will also be at a separate domain when we decide on its name.

Re: .htaaccess protection for hotlinking

You would have to create your own .htaccess file if you're planning on using more than one domain.

Re: .htaaccess protection for hotlinking

There are some custom ones here that have been discussed. Try searching for ".htaccess" (Note: For vBulletin to find matches for strings that have periods in them, you must put the quotes around it when you do your search.)

This is the one I use. Basically the only place a hotlinked image will be viewable is at the URLs that you enter into the .htaccess file. Mine will display a funny pic if your IP is not noted in the file. If they enter the path to the file it is viewable, but if they use the BB code they get my "other" picture displayed.

Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
I have placed this file in my gallery root
