Thanks for the heads-up, and yep I am familiar with hosts like Fotoflix, Flickr etc. - Also BTW familiar with your album photos, as well as my reactions to them ;)

But sorry to beat the point around - I would use Fotoflix to upload a *private* pic to HZ, as per your explanation. But when it comes to 'hotlinking': my point is that it DOES work most of the time - look at all the pics directly posted in Space Sciences. So, how am I supposed to know when to use the html hotlinking "img src=" and when not to? So far I've found out from you, not to use it with Tripod - but that's it. Should I start a list, or is there some way of knowing whether hotlinking would work, when you're browsing a site?
