Default cPanel Hotlink Protection - Not working

Hi

I have attempted to enable the Hotlink protection through cPanel.

I have set it up as below:
Quote:
Allowed Referers:

"theravedomain.co.uk"
"tmtg.theravedomain.co.uk"
"theravedomain.co.uk"


Protected Extensions: jpg,jpeg,gif,png,bmp
For some reason the images are still being hotlinked to. For example this test image should not be visible with hotlink protection enabled:

Code:
[ img]http://www.theravedomain.co.uk/tmtg/resources/images/test.bmp[/img]
For some reason it is. I have tried playing around with various settings but hotlinking is still being allowed

Many thanks for any help in advance.

Dave

.htaccess generator mentioned by Kevin should be helpful to get this sorted.

If this doesn't work then open a ticket for our support staff as there might be some settings in apache configuration for your domain which might need modifications.

I moved back home to Bristol yesterday and tried viewing the hotlinked image and I couldn't see it.

When I got back today I cleared all of my Firefox and IE temp files manually (not just using the menu option) and it seems its working.

So it was a problem my end with cached files not being cleared properly.

It seems to be working fine now.

Thanks for the help anyway.
