Prevent only 1 site from hotlinking

There's a site with some porn on it that for some reason is linking to one of my images (not porn) and I want to stop them from doing that. I just want to prevent this one site, not every site. My control panel has an IP deny manager so I put the domain name in there and it resolved to an IP and says that it is blocking. I reload the page though and my image is still being displayed. How can I stop this?

Instead of blocking the remote address of the porn site, you should be blocking users who are referred to your site via the porn site.

Some fine members of this forum :-P have tackled a similar topic here:

So either your control pannel IP manager does not work, or you did not clear your browser's cache before testing it.
