I have been looking at your site as a guest for several days--and I have managed to do many of the simple mods, because of your excellent instructions.  The support you give for people like me who don't understand is what encouraged me to try those others and to ask about this one now.   

Thank you very much,

I'm new to this.   I have a hard time figuring things out when I make a mistake, so forgive me, I'm trying to make sure I do this right.
   
Are you saying to create a htacess file there or place it where I see htacess after clicking on "public html" before going to the 4 images file?  I thought the instructions said add the code in the data directory.  Here is what is is in /4images/data directory. 
 Directory:  data
  File: database   
  File:  media 
  File:  thumbnails 
  File:  tmp_media
  File:  tmp_thumbnails
 Create New File

I tried stopping hot linking through cpanel's button a while back, which I assume changes htacess--and it stopped all posts to the website (I use FrontPage, if that makes a difference).  I'm thinking that putting this in the htaccess will stop hotlinking to photos all over the website, which is what I wanted, so that would be good.  I'm sorry to take your time with this.

thanks,

bev

I want to use the code by Chris in the second post.  I went to the data directory and found 5 files under it.  Which do I use or do I create a document?
