For those of you using darwinonline.org for your pics (and I've noticed there are a few of you) I've noticed hotlinking of your pics has recently stopped working. Just found this on their homepage:
Due to excessive bandwidth usage by some users, as of January 1st 2005 darwinonline.org does not allow direct linking or hot linking of pictures to online forums anymore


Edit: Maybe time to switch to pixspot
