Could some of you people stop linking to your profile images on NPF from other forums? You are using this server's resources for the benefit of other sites. If it carries on, I shall be seeing who it is and taking action!

The best action to take in circumstanses such as this is to let the webserver look at HTTP_REFERER and serve a "nice" picture if it is loaded from another site.

Yea add hot link protection on an .htaccess and specify the sites you allow to hotlink your pictures instead. You can then supply an image to those that are not allowed so they will see something else instead of the picture they are hotlinking.
