Hotlinking an image....

[Child of Flame]

Well, I've started to learn HTML, and knowing that most UBB/PHPBB/whatever code is a sort of bastardization of HTML, I decided to see if I could use an image as a hotlink....alot of people probably already know this, but it's a useful feature for those who don't. So far, I've found out it works in PHPBB, vBulletin, Invision Power Board (what this forum's software is based on).
