How do i make images link to another site?

I can do it with HTML but not with the codes that this board uses.

That's simple, but we discourage hotlinking. I suggest that if it a small pic, then save it to disk and upload it here, using the "upload attachment" feature. Or just see my thread on "Tutorial: How to post a picture..." 8-)

Use the IMG codes at the top of a post entry box. But keep in mind most hotlinking slows the site down.

Again, I must insist we do not hotlink. In the past we had a few Webmasters that got upset due to hotlinking and tracked the IP address back to the site. I don't blame them; it does rob bandwidth from their site and does slow things down, as Tim pointed out.

Plus: Hotlinking is against the ToS

9 - Please keep posts down to a respectable length and provide source and/or links for your info. We want to respect copyrighted material. Plus, you stand a better chance of getting your post read if it contains a link with an excerpt from source that's relative to your point.
Refrain from all caps and bold, large fonts. Hotlinking of photos is PROHIBITED! We have a thread which explains how to post a photo.

Feel free to use one of the free hosting site I mentioned here, in my pictorial:

They even provide the appropriate link to use for posting in a BBS.

Thanks!
