I've hit a wall....

The Goal

Block site X and show them image X
Blocked site Y and show them image Y
Block everyone else and show them image Z

Have a safe list / white list, so that I can still hot link here on XenForo and a few other select sites.

What Jake came up with (but doesn't seem to work)



# NO HOTLINK FOR SITE X
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?sitex\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !nohotlinkingx\.jpg$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|gif|jpeg|png|bmp|pdf|zip|txt|svg)$ http://www.yoursite.com/nohotlinkingx.jpg? [NC,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?sitex\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^attachments/.+$ http://www.yoursite.com/nohotlinkingx.jpg? [NC,L]

# NO HOTLINK FOR SITE Y
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(www\.)?sitey\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !nohotlinkingy\.jpg$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(jpg|gif|jpeg|png|bmp|pdf|zip|txt|svg)$ http://www.yoursite.com/nohotlinkingy.jpg? [NC,L]

I know someone here must have done this before.

Can anyone here tell me what is wrong with this code?

(If you don't have the answer... Please like this post knowing that I wasn't someone who opened up a wasteful support ticket. I imagine that happens a lot.)

I figured I'd mention most likely tomorrow and if not tomorrow on the weekend we'll be switching from vbulletin to invision power board. We've just had our fill of the bots overrunning our forums and just vbulletin in general being a major annoyance.

So expect a new look soon and probably a whole lot less annoying bots showing up on our forums. Which I guess means more people are going to need to post to make up for the bots

Well this feels kind of strange, I don't think I've had a Shared Hosting account in over 10 years. I work on high level system administration/security work during the day and love tinkering at night (good or bad that your evening tinkering is the same as the day job?  ). I've been using Dedicated, VPS, or Cloud servers to run my personal projects for a very long time. However I finally realized today that if I'm ever going to have a personal site that is going to stay up more then a couple of weeks/month before I start tinkering with the server again I need something I can't touch too much, lol. Finally signed up with you all tonight after bouncing you and a few competitors around for a couple of hours. Now I'm waiting to get setup. This is probably one of the few times you will hear much more than a peep out of me (I should be good, lol). Good luck out there.

I want to ask. I have hosting in hawkhost, and forgot to extend. how to reactivate and restore my data. thaks by SEO

I want to add forums to a site. I am thinking about using phpBB. Is there any particular reason I should use vBulletin instead?

Hey HawkHost, how do you guys like Invision Power Board?

I was thinking about moving off vBulletin and check out Invision power Board, the product seems a lot more compelling than XenForo.
