Ok Gemini, I do use .htaccess I just didn't know that it was reffered to as a locked dir. Still learning the lingo.

Which brings me to "float a dir"

How do you do that?
This is what I understand:
If you put all your images into a directory, and call them from other directories, and domains you need to call them by one of two ways.
The first being an absolut URL. (For different domains)
example: http://www.domain.com/ht-protected-d...-set/image.jpg

or

local url (for within the doamin)
example:
/images/photo-set/image.jpg

What I don't understand:
Quote:
float a directory and change the name of it from time to time to prevent links
If you change the directory, won't all the links to the photos that you're hotlinking now be invalid? They will show broken links accross your entire domain. Right?
