The article here on wikinews.

Microsoft has an article that tells you exactly what is required. I have pasted the link, but I am unsure if it meets the hotlinking requirements or not. Mods, if I am in error please remove the link.

this is fine ---guess hotlinking is not clear yet---Hot linking is ---linking to a picture on another site ---that causes this site to go to that site and open the picture ----this causes extra uses of bandwidth on both sites as this site has to contact the other site and request that the picture be opened every time that thread is opened ----yes this does save hard drive space on this site ---but hard drive space here is not an issue----Most sites do not allow hotlinking----some that do --are like photo bucket----the down side to this is if the member suddenly removes the picture from that site ---this site still tries to contact that site---but all you get are red Xs instead of the picture that was there

what you have just done is simply place a link to another site --and that is fine as long as it is not your personal site ---or it is to a pay site or a site you have to join---- we are not here to drum up membership to other sites

for that and pay sites or personal sites ---there is a web master link exchange link at the bottom of the forum ---
