ita, I'm having some issues trying to get that htaccess to work. And now some schlubs on myspace are sucking me dry.

And really? I'm about to just take everything off my server and shut it all down. I'm so frustrated with these assholes.

Would you help me when you have a sec? I think I put the code in the wrong spot or something.

Allyson, dunno if ita is around or what exactly you tried, but I want to point out/confirm that the filename you're using is .htaccess (dot-htaccess), correct?

yes tis.

Cool. Possibly this might be of help until ita shows up with her web-fu [link]

Note that it is possible for the webserver to have disabled the use of .htaccess.

It took me more than a few tries for me to get mine to work, but sites like this were invaluable. They step you through what to do, and allow you to test -- make sure you use a new image link for each test, or clear your cache inbetween tries.

What are your symptoms?

I created a .htaccess file, uploaded it to my server, and...nothing happened.

How did you test?

Try that page I linked to, after clearing your cache.

I did. Nothing.

I checked my provider, and it gives me the same code, so there's no reason for it to not work. Hm. I'm sure it's something ridiculous.

Give me an image URL.
