If you are blocking the display of images from their site, and want to display something else to them.... then that image needs to come from somewhere else - as you're blocking the display of images. So either another domain or somewhere on your site not htaccess protected. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What line I use is this<br /><br />RewriteRule .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|bmp|png|txt|zip)$ - [F,NC]

Gotcha -that's what I figured <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
