The problem is that when users view the images on here, the bandwidth of the site you're hotlinking the images from is used. Dan wrote that we should download the images and attach them to our posts.
(Of course, sites which host images for forums should be okay to link to, and I guess it's also okay that we link to our own sites.)

The images were switched with this picture of a cat. You're welcome to upload the images if you downloaded them, though.

He probably tracked it from his own site, if he was the owner of the site which owned the image.
