changing hotlinked image size

  • I have had trouble with my right sidebar dropping down in IE6 and I think I figured out the source of the problem. There is an RSS feed image in my theme and this image is rather large. (The theme is envision 3c.) I think that may be causing IE6 to have trouble with the width of the sidebar. However, the image appears to be hotlinked so I have no idea how I can change the size. Would anyone know if there is anyway that I can change the size of a hotlinked image?

    I did try saving it to my computer, re-sizing it and then uploading it to my image folder. I then changed the img src tag but apparently did something wrong because all I got was the red x. Any opinions or suggestions on this large hotlinked image causing my IE6 problems and what I can do about it is very much appreciated. Thanks!

  • If you are indeed hotlinking an image – you are “stealing” it and using someone else’s bandwidth. Highly improper – not to mention illegal – unless you’re grabbing it from another domain or space you own and the image is yours.

    Either that or I don’t understand exactly what you’re talking about.

    Iam not hotlinking to anybody. The theme I used has an RSS image in it and when I went to change the image size, I noticed that they have the image hotlinked to their own site. I don’t want it that way and was looking to change it; that is why I posted the question on this forum.
