Right, by using the $ at the end the FULL url is cheched, the preseding .*
is a regex wildcard meaning any charachet ero or more times
So
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mydomain.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mydomain.com$ [NC]
can be shortened to
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mydomain\.com [NC]
making it test the beginning og Urls only
Note thr \ before .: this way the dot is not a any-character wildcard, but a
literal dot.

Your domain may have a prefix like in www.mydomain.com
let's prefix that part
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^\.]+\.)?mydomain\.com [NC]

Probably some loadbalacing, just regex this prefix -and drop the full match-
too
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^\.]+\.)?invisionfree\.com/myforum/
[NC]


All in all try these untested lines
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^\.]+\.)?invisionfree\.com/myforum/
[NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://([^\.]+\.)?mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp)$ - [F]
