Re: Test Prevent Image Hotlinking
-----------------------------------
it´s probably, because if you use .htaccess, you´ll block all referers to hotlink, or you need to put the ones you allow , into your whitelist.

with this piece of code, it´s handelt by the script itself, with the ability to allow or disallow them in the ACP i think.

so you don´t need to edit the .htaccess all the times. 

BTW htaccess would block all images from hotlinking
