It means linking a picture from a website that's not yours. It eats up bandwidth and can bog down the sites (both the one where the pic is hosted and the one where it's linked).

If you want to post a pic, it's preferred you save it to your desktop and then upload it to a photo-hosting site of your choice (photobucket, flickr, tinypic, etc...).

That's what happens when I try to eat lunch and type at the same time. You beat me to it!

I don't know how many times I got those "bandwidth exceeded" images on my MySpace and LiveJournal. Turns out the collegians were posting my event pics on THEIR own MySpaces from my web hosting service even though I was the one footing the bill for the online space. They got a lecture from me after that.

Say you go to a website and find a pic you like. You usually right click and copy the URL to post here, right? That's stealing somebody else's bandwidth. If you're going to use somebody else's picture, it's better to post a link instead of the picture, at least in this forum. Some people have accounts that have limitations on how many times their pics can come up, and especially for those who PAY for bandwidth...that's not cool when people steal.

You're fine if you host your own pics -- PhotoBucket, TinyPic, Flickr, etc.

In her case, she used FaceBook pics. But there's no way to tell if those pics are actually hers.

Thank you. Now I feel like a moron for all of the pictures I've posted in sorority mascots thread. Time to go register for an account.
