403 forbidden when trying to view images

[nolnet]

I have hotlink protection enabled in cpanel and have added my URL to the allowed list but when I try to view the image I still get a 403 error.

http://mantrophile.com/wp-content/gallery/spiritual/tmp-shri-krishna-beautiful-eyes.jpg

My .htaccess looks like this...

RewriteEngine on
Options All -Indexes

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mantrophile.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mantrophile.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://upload.mantrophile.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://upload.mantrophile.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mantrophile.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.mantrophile.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.upload.mantrophile.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.upload.mantrophile.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F,NC]

any help is appreciated!

make sure box for "Allow direct requests (i.e., entering the URL of an image into a browser)" is checked in the cPanel hotlink protection config page. otherwise, direct access to URL http://mantrophile.com/wp-content/ga...tiful-eyes.jpg will still be blocked.
