I just made a dynamic avatar only to find out when you specify a link it just uploads it to the server. How hard would it be to make it just link to the original server?

Not a huge deal, but just thought it would be cool to make dynamic image avatars.

What about allowing custom avatars hosted somewhere else (if that's possible)? I'm not sure what vB is capable of, but I know one of the forums that I help admin gave the option of 'linking' to an avatar basically, and it didn't have to be uploaded to our servers.

Then someone uses a Goatse avatar and claims they just hotlinked an image and the image owner switched it.

I've seen other vb forums that allowed you to provide a link to an avatar, but all it did was copy the avatar to the forum server - it didn't actually hotlink to the avatar on another server.
