I'm not the best with the internet, but I have a solution for the hotlinking problems. Before I say what I'm about to say, I want it to be clear that this is NOT the only way to go about it, but it's the way I go about it and it works.
(Also, this presumes use of Windows, if you use Mac or Linux the principles are the same but the programs you use will be different.)
Preparation for making a post.
(1) Open up a plain text editor (Notepad).
(2) Open your web browser.
(3) Browse the internet for the pictures you want, and copy their URL in a list on the text editor.
(4) Close your web browser.
(5) Add

to the end of each URL
Making your post.
(1) Start your browser (if possible without causing problems, erase your cache)
(2) Make the post in whatever forum you are planning to post them on. Hitting "Preview" and see if you have any pictures that don't show up, if at this point you don't have any problems seeing the pictures, you're done.
Troubleshooting Problems..
Assuming your URLs are correct, the only thing to block them from being shown properly is hotlink protection from the server that they originate from. The solution to this is to download the picture, then upload it to a server that doesn't block hotlinking. And then using the URL from the new server. In this case..
(1) Browse to the problem picture on the site you got it from.
(2) Right Click.. In the menu that pops up, Save Image As (or something to that effect)..
(3) Choose a location to save the file, easy to locate.
(4) Go to:
http://freakygeak.evonyguru.com
(5) Upload the picture using the upload form.
(6) When the picture is uploaded it will appear on the page, then get the URL as you would from any other site.
(7) Use this URL in the post. And you're done.
CLASS DISMISSED!!!
And here are some pictures.
