Tutorial for hotlinking pics in posts for fun or for FS/FT ads
CLICK HERE FOR THE SCAMMER thread poll
Hi guys, I was surprised why this hasn't existed yet, so Here is my offering. Please discuss, add constructive criticism, and mainly if anyone can answer my question at the bottom, please do so.
Maybe after a bit of editing, and discussion., a mod may choose to set this as a sticky somewhere helpful for all hotlinking noobs.

Forums nowadays give you two options to do this. Either;
A) Attach the picture(pic) in the actual post...or
B) Hotlink the pic using [img] html codes (should these codes be enabled in that thread/forum).
What's the difference? Well in a nutshell., server load, and maximum cap limits. Attaching files and photos in the actual post is usually Highly restricted to a very small icon-ish sized item, and even data files will be ~find it's address>link in the post-Voila!
Comparatively, such free online IMAGE HOSTING/hotlink (capable) webhosters such as:
www.imageshack.us
www.pictiger.com
WWW.XS.TO.COM
www.picturetrail.com
www.picasaweb.google.com
VERY COOL. Just log in, BYPASS the "sign me up, block", Log in, click the only link there is, and your account will be activated instantaneously. You DO NOT NEED TO SIGN UP, AND WAIT FOR AN EMAIL. I did it from start to finished uploading my batch of pics in one sitting (few mins). Pics do hotlink
AND MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE;
