Don't know what hotlinking is? Here is an explanation:

Hotlinking takes place when you direct link to a website's files (images, videos, etc). As a result, this uses up the pages bandwidth. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data transferred from a website to a user's computer. When you view a web page, you are using that site's bandwidth to display the files. Since web hosts charge based on the amount of data transferred, bandwidth is an issue. If a site is over its monthly bandwidth, it's billed for the extra data or taken offline. In lots of sites, it is considered theft.

Avoiding hotlinking will save a lot of trouble for you guys, as some sites that know their images are being hotlinked ban people for it.

With this explained, I would like to remind you that to avoid this, simply upload your picture to image-hosting sites, such as the ones listed below:
─ Image Shack
─ ImageBam
─ ImgBB (ibb)

Please note that Imgur, Photobucket, Toyhou.se and Deviantart are NOT acceptable sites to upload images from.
Postimg/Postimage is no longer an acceptable site to upload images from due to the innapropriate ads the website sometimes features.

The above list will change if these sites have their Terms of Service changed.

---------

To post an image to the forums, take the direct link of the image. Go to Insert > Image and paste your direct link into the Source section. To prevent your image from being cut off, set your width to a value less than 600px and the height will automatically sort itself out.

(Original thread created by Dark Moon)
-----------
Postimages will no longer be allowed, due to innapropriate advertisements. You do not have to move old art but ARE required to upload NEW art on a safer art forum.

Question: Why was imgur removed as a hosting site? It is very user friendly and easy to use in my opinion and I don't see it as any different then tinypic or say photobucket. I used to use it on here ages ago and it was fine. So just curious why it was taken off.

They recently updated their Terms of Use to disallow people from using it as an image host. No forum or avatar uses.

Postimg is just as easy to use, compared to Tinypic and Photobucket's tendency to lag.

Apologies for getting back to you so late.
It's the same reason for every other site.
To save bandwidth and money.

@River-- picmonkey is not an image hosting site. You'd have to save your image to your computer then upload it to a host.

This list is not exhaustible. There are definitely other image-hosting sites out there; these are just some common ones that are easy to use.
