    Yeah. They may not allow HTML there or use some other system.

    images on this board are different. My sig is hosted on photobucket and is a link to my website. displays the same way you display images in the body of the post, with the IMG tags.

    What the guys are trying to say is that whether the image is displayed or not depends not only on whether the hosting site allows hotlinking, but also whether the system that displays it allows automatic parsing of images.
