The typical to post or view an image without hot-linking (a bandwith sapping no-no in the world of nettiquette) work-around is to do the following:

* Save the image to your hard drive
* Navigate to a free image-hosting website
* Enter the path to the image on your hard drive
* Wait for it to upload
* Copy the new URL and paste it into your message-board or blog post

That's rather tedious. Well ImgRed.com lets you simply enter the original URL in your post as you normally would, but with http://imgred.com/ written before the URL. When this is viewed, the image will be copied once to imgred.com, and from then on the image will always be served from imgred.com instead of the host site. Additionally, a thumbnail is automatically generated, which can be accessed by adding http://imgred.com/tn/ before the original URL.
