Protecting content

[BooRadLey]

Hello,

I am wondering how I would go about offering member only images. What I would like to have is a way to display these images only to people with accounts on my website. I have no problems with the member system and such, the problem I have is how to protect the images from being linked to directly by non-members. Any links or advice on this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Brad

You can stop people hotlinking to the images using htaccess file, or an image display PHP file that checks the http_referer from the link to make sure its your site.. Google "stop hotlinking". Theres plenty of resources.

But you can't stop people stealing the images.

Ever.
