Not true; look at my styles... Not one URL is hardcoded and it works perfectly out of the box; you just have to set the url attribute properly
You can't use the style on a page at
http://www.yoursite.com/games/index.php if your forum is at /forums/ and the images are at /forum/styles/images without some sort of hard-coding of /forum/styles/images/image.gif
styles/images/image.gif isn't gonna be the link you are wanting outside of the forum directory
