hi Sue,

I'm sorry, but other than the smiley sites I listed, I don't know of any other websites that officially permit hot-linking. If you have your own website (not a free server, but one you pay for) then you can link to your own images that you post there. Most free websites, and online photo album services will not permit hot-linking.

Some members are hot-linking to attachments in their journals for their sig. line, but we may possibly have to limit this practise in future. Each post counts as a view of the attachment, and that potentially uses up a lot of bandwidth .. especially if the image is large.
