PAiN from your board, for example, has a great av of a weather magnet from the Depths where it is said to be snowing. That's creative. It's hotlinked. Right click on his avatar in the Membership Profile. Select Properties from the shortcut menu and you'll see an off-site URL listed as its source.<br /><br />Lianna<br /><br />Edit**Factly, as I cruise through your membership list, every one that I looked at was hotlinked.<!--content-->
