Sometime back, I noticed an intense amount of bandwidth for one particular site and found out that one of my images was being hotlinked to. I changed the image name so it could not be hotlinked to anymore. And, enabled no right clicking on the page. Now I host images on other sites like tiny pic. Since then I haven't noticed a problem. Are there any other ways to prevent hotlinking to images?
What do you mean by hotlinking an image ? Do you mean images which are pointing to other sites ? If yes, then you can always trim url or a href tag whenever user tries to post it

I know there's a plug-in that can prevent this.
For example, if someone hotlink your images, a default image would show up, saying "NO HOTLINKING" or something like that. Or images won't load on other pages aside from yours.

I love that idea! Thank you so much. Do you know if this plug in is available for Blogger or just Wordpress? I'm mostly into Blogger now. Though I also have a forum. I'll have to check to see if SMF has a similar plug in for their software. Thanks for this suggestion.

For instance, let's say you are hosting images on your own server space (uploaded images) and others are using the jpg code to hotlink to them, rather than downloading the images and uploading to tinypic or other free hosting space. This can get very costly especially if you are being charged for bandwidth overage.

There are many scripts available that can prevent others from right clicking the page and that will prevent them from taking your images.

I can't find this tool on my XP OS. But I remember the snipping tool being on my Vista. I use puu.sh now, they have a nice snipper tool. There are many others, I'm sure.

oh oh.. My bad. I should have asked you about your OS. As you said, you are using XP you can use screen recorder or use snipping tool for xp, which you can download from [url]http://xpsnipping.codeplex.com/[/url] :)
