    So far so good. I did a test where I hotlinked 2 images.. one with filename_thumb.jpg the other filename.jpg. The filename_thumb.jpg image displayed.

    The rewrite stuff is such pain, enjoy.

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://yourdomain.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.yourdomain.com/.*$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.*_thumb.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|jpeg|JPEG)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule .*\.(gif|GIF|jpg|JPG|jpeg|JPEG)$ - [F]
