How To Open URL in blank page?

[Spiral Girl]

Hi,

I'm not sure how to phrase this, but sometimes you are on a forum and somehow wants to show you their desktop picture. You click on the link they provide and it is a complete white page with just their picture and a URL up top.

How is this done? I use Firefox and I'm guessing you right click open image in new window. I tried this with my Photobucket account but I didn't get the white page with just my photo. So I'm thinking there is something else you do instead.

Thanks,

S.

Hi,

I'm answering this myself since I now know how to do it. You go to your photobucket account or whatever you use and you get the URL info and copy it. Open an new browswer window and paste in URL.

If you are on another site you just right click on the image and look for Copy Image Location. Open new browser window and paste in. It's called Hotlinking I found out and you need to make sure whatever you use is hotlink cabable, but Photobucket just was, I tried it elsewhere and it worked great.
