Help with Hot-linking

[Mike Murawski]

How can I make my images bigger and clearer for viewers on Fence Check?  This is called hotlinking right?  The hotlinked pictures look so much better and more professional than the ones I upload directly to Fence Check.  I belong to a photo sharing website (Zenfolio) and was under the impression I could hotlink from there.

I've played around blindly and tried to find another post but was unsuccessful.  Any help with this would be much appreciated.

When you reply to the post, there is a button for you called "Insert image" (2nd row, third from the left) - insert there link to jpg file (directly to the file, not the page with it) and you're done...

While on the zenfolio page i clicked on the photo to open it.  I then right clicked on the image number and "copy"ed it.  I went back to Fence Check, right clicked again and "paste"d it.  What am i doing wrong?

Seems problem is you are not linking the file itself and I am not sure hosting you are using allows that.

In my case it will look like this [img ]http://aviation.kzielinski.pl/Oceana_2009/images/_MG_2198.jpg[ /img] (I have added spaces to the img tags to avoid linking the picture but just show the syntax)  - note it links directly the file.

I tried clicking the share button and it gave some urls. These won't work for me to hot-link to, but it indicates the owner of the image has access to other sizes. Are you able to grab the image url from the share feature and hot-link to it?

I think it must be a .jpg file you hotlink to...
