thanks, that was fast!
[edit]so like the post said, is this only for uploaded attachments? How can i protect other files, lets say a .flv that i have in another folder so that no one can use it only my site? can i use something like this!?[/edit]

I would think so...
Do the same steps but the the flv folder instead, while putting the .htaccess on the flv folder and change the script so it fits

Yes, upload a htaccess file to the folder where the flv files is located:
Code: Select all
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+.)?phpbb3bbcodes.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*.(flv)$ ../stop.gif [L]
Note that I just changed php with flv

I think it is because the flv is cached in your browser.
Try post one in the testforum.
