I strongly advice members to not hotlink pictures as it more often than not will lead to a broken link sooner or later. Plus the fact there's no risk of gettin' banned for postin' porn or some other unallowed pictures, 'cos some companies that have a hotlink protection system just replace the wanted picture with a nasty one of their choice. The poster won't notice it 'til it's too late as they have the right picture in the cache.
McCoy is spot on here! If anyone needs a hand or a walk through on embedding photos I'd be glad to help.
