'hotlinking' is when you have a URL (uniform resource locator) that you 'link' to via the [img] tag (in vB code).

so, to 'hotlink' a picture, is simply referring to this

[*img]http://www.somehost.com/files/blahblah001.jpg[*/img]
(without! the asterisks)

it's simply a link pointing to an image file (jpg, gif, png, bmp) within the [img] code, which the board 'interprets' as an image link.

hope that makes sense?
