wouldn't you want to block everything from the thumbs subdomain?
no matter what - these images can only be noindexed or excluded from crawling by the server for the thumbs.affiliateurl.com hostname.
i assume that's not your server...

Yes, blocking the thumbs subdomain would be the ticket, and you are correct, it is not my server so I don't see how this is even going to be possible but maybe it is... I am very much a rookie when it comes to .htaccess.

it is possible if the .htaccess resides in the document root directory or image directory (or you can do this in the server config file) of the thumbs server.
you need intervention by your affiliate's webmaster to solve this.

Ok, thanks phranque... the affiliate is a giant faceless and often heartless entity. I guess I'll have to just live with it.

It sounds as if it's really your affiliate who has the problem. ("My pictures are being credited to some other guy's domain.") If they don't consider it worth fixing, it's no skin off your nose is it?
