I'm pretty sure a mod should remove the formerly broken image... I'm getting a rather bad image now. I'm pretty sure that kind of thing wouldn't even fly in the Den :spin1:
EDIT: and this, folks, is why we should always rehost the image on photobucket or imageshack before hotlinking it here... I'm also guilty of this occasionally.

Hot linking is posting images that are hosted on a website where they were originally posted.
Lets say I wanted to post an image I found on www.msnbc.com. I COULD just make use the code to host it like [img]www.msnbc.com[img].
That is called hotlinking because you have posted the image directly off of the original website. People get angry about this because it uses up lots of bandwidth that they are paying for.
So in the future host an image you want to post on a site like photobucket.

Just get a photobucket account and go to the TEST forum and play around with images. Its a steep learning curve I guess...

Wait, the image I tried to post was a pelican. What did you guys actually see?
I guess I need to be more careful with those picture things.
And vincepru, I'm 22 as well. I guess it's not just you.

your machine will "store" the image in your cache.
ours will see the image as it is.

x2 on that. Turn off browser caching of open this page in a different browser completely. It should show the true image then.

The image it turned into was an image of... uh... things I'm not attracted to, doing things I don't particularly want to witness ever again. With the text "hotlinking is for fags" as a banner below it. You get the idea.
Problems with hotlinking:
* eats up bandwidth for the site you're linking to - the real reason people get mad about it. I've seen people get ten thousand dollar bills for bandwidth usage in ONE MONTH before because they went over their limit from people hotlinking. Their normal bill was on the order of 25 dollars a month.
* as we saw here, if someone doesn't like it, they can change the file you're linking to... to whatever they want.
How to avoid it:
* take the url you were going to use in your image post
* go to imageshack.us
* check the "url" box above the text entry field
* paste in the url you were going to use
* press "host it!"
ImageShack's server will grab the pic you were going to hotlink and put it on their server - they host pictures for free and allow hotlinking.
* Paste the code from the box "thumbnail for forums (1)" into your post - it writes the image tags and everything for you, and even makes a neat clickable thumbnail using a URL tag and another IMG tag.
