Okay so I'm working on a guide for a map and I want to use a smaller image for the thread, without a spoiler, and then link to a larger image online hosted at imgur. Originally I wanted to host the full-size map image somewhere online, but it was 8192 by 8192 and 20MB and I'm just going to upload it to a filesharing site and let people download it from there instead.

Hotlinking images works in the preview, but I don't know if TL will accept it in an actual submission, hence this blog.

edit: seems to work. Maybe I don't understand what hotlinking images means? I was under the impression that a hotlinked image was not allowed at TL.

Some websites do not allow images hosted by them to be hotlinked by others.

Most of the credit for the map goes to :destroyer:, but the community really had to fight him to make it decently balanced. He did do an excellent job with the terrain though.

Iceland should be a bit rounder than that.
