the last line displays a custom image hotlinker.gif which you can obviously put a warning message on. |
Thanks... someone else also pointed me to .htacces
Is it a lot work for a programmer to do that?
Also... does it work to unburden the server? I mean...
Not showing the picture is something else then not making the request
for that picture on my server? If a request does not serve the pictures
but the requests itself put a lot of pressure on the server then what would be the point?
Im not a computer guy... any info would be great!
Thanks...
