Message Board question.

[Mucho]

On a UBB message board if you link a picture that is hosted on another server will that slow down the message board?

depends on how fast/slow the pic host is. If they are slow your board could seem to load slower.

What I really need to know is: if the hotlinked picture will cause the board server to slowdown. In other words if several pictures are hotlinked in a thread will overload the board host server.

no, it's not going to affect the server's performances. The only thing the server has to do is to translate the UBB code to html but that's really tiny tiny.
