... make sure the site you are hot-linking to allows that, and maybe more importantly, that it's not the sort of site that would change the picture after you've linked to it.

Some sites don't allow hot-linking and will display a graphic scolding the poster for the hot-link.

Worse, we've seen disreputable sites replacing inoffensive humor pictures with porn, etc.

Always check the source of any picture you hot-link to, or better yet, use a reputable photo sharing site.

And welcome to DU!
