Direct linking is linking to your image from forums other than pBase...
I don't know how the count works though, if it's total number of viewings or total number of forum posts that have direct links to the image.
you can turn it off by default in your "update account" page (3rd last from bottom).
Which ever you set as your account default you can turn it off/on on a per gallery basis.
personally if your not keeping full (or large enough) resolution images and your not selling your work I'd take it as a compliment that people are direct linking
that said I find it strange that some of my images have 3 or 4 times as many direct linkings as they have viewings.
