Hi,

I have a question about using this.

Can you have more than one .htaccess file?

I'll explain what I need and see if it makes any sense. (It always makes sense in my head, doing it is another matter!)

I have images and html-converted fiction I do not want to be able to be linked to EXCEPT from the 3 message boards I run. (I also have my own domain.)

Also included in my file is the code for site banning, which I also need, that includes a 403 error file, and a 404 error file.

Would I use more than one htaccess file or is there a way to tell it to allow linking only to my message boards and nothing else?

Thank you.

If your forum is in it's own folder on your domain, then yes it is possible. Put the no-direct linking onto the main domain folder.. then go to your forum's folder and put another .htaccess file without the direct link thing. I've done this before. It does work. :3
