I have a feeling I know the answer to this one, just haven't been able to find any posts that reflect it.
A member asked if linking to a photo you have up on your own Twitter or FaceBook account is considered hotlinking. I replied 'good question, let me do some research,' thinking I'd easily find an answer, however . . .
Anyway, I have a pretty good suspicion it might be, but could I get an official yea or nay from Craig or any of the other ProBoards support folk here?

Hi,
It all depends on whether the respective host of the image allows it. You will need to ask facebook/twitter if they allow it.

Just to add to what Craig mentioned above, there have been some instances in the past of forum owners complaining about broken images, which happened to be hosted by Facebook. It seems that Facebook changes the URL's of images they host somewhat frequently, so if you contact facebook and they state that they do allow for hotlinking of the images, you may want to consider another source anyway as they are not very reliable in this area at the moment.
