I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Hey. New board.

(or xanga.com, if I'm being honest)

I have a xanga site. I haven't used it in years.

Your tag here.

Don't know what to tell ya, ita. Worked for me in my testing. If you were just filtering against xanga.com, did you remove the OR flag and remove the second RewriteCond from that chain? Did you pretty much copy-paste, 'cause the syntax is a bit craxy in there (understatement).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Copy and paste -- I filtered against buffistas.org and xanga.com, and you can see the results. I did minor guessing tweaks in between each result to calibrate, and new joy.

Can you restart your httpd daemon on this server (after making changes to .htaccess)? I found that helped with mine, to get the new rules loaded.

Nope. It's a shared server. It seems to pick up on there being new rules with each save, since I can break and repair pretty quickly.

Your tag here.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.*.)?xanga.com/.*$ [NC]

This line, there's no ! in front of ^http:// correct?

I'm trying to figure out why b.org matched on this rule.

Yup.

I can try again, if you're going to be around for a second or two.

Yup, for about another half hour.

Try: [link]

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.*.)?buffistas.org/.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.*.)?xanga.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*\\.)?buffistas.org/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*\\.)?provocateuse.com/.*$ [NC]

Damn.

That works.

I swear that's what I had in there earlier today ....
