the other day I was checking the stats on one of my web sites and noticed a lot of hits from a site im not familiar with. so I checked it out and found some user was hotlinking one of my moon photos. this really hackes me off and almost makes me want to take my sites down.
the site is in bulgarian or something so I can read it. but I did switch the photo and changed the main page index file so casual browsers dont get offended by the photo I put in place of my 1/2 moon shot.

here is the site and the first image you see is "should" be my 1/2 moon shot. Im gonna change the image in a day or so in hopes to get them to remove the link to my photo

I know its possible to configure a web server to not allow hot linking, but I don't know specifically how to do it. Might be worth checking with your hosting service to see if this is an option they can configure for you.

Lol, nice one.
You need to change your .htaccess file to prevent hotlinking.
If you don't have one, just make one and put in your site root.
This might help you out.

Btw, I hope you own the copyright to the replacement picture.
