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.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*\\.)?worldcrossing.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\\.(jpg|jpeg|gif)$ [link] [R,NC]
Damn.
That works.
I swear that's what I had in there earlier today ....
I got "hotlinking is bad."
I got xanga.gif.
Which Firefox helpfully resized so that the text was really teeny.
Browser caches. I had to clear mine before I'd get the teeny text.
