Full Version: Prevent Users from Hotlinking from Another Site to Ours
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
We have run into the problem of users putting hotlinked images on our from from other websites.

A plugin would be nice that would not allow any [IMG] code EXCEPT from a specific website's url.

For example, we have a forum up at avbbf.com. We DO have an inhouse file uploader that is easy to use, but people on the forum are just too lazy to use it. We would like to block all images from outside sites and only allow images from www.avbbf.com/forum/.............
If you wish you may request at my forum so I could look into this and better communicate with you: http://yaldaram.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=3 Smile
Why don't you just block the specific sites' URL using your word filter?
Because we don't know where users are going to hotlink pictures from.

WE ARE NOT HAVING A PROBLEM with people hotlinking to our images, the problem is that our users are hotlinking to other people's images.
