Rad Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Mattallica, if you use an online photo hosting site like imageshack/flickr they give you an option to create a thumbnail for posting on forums etc which link back to the main image.

Ivan Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 And if you already have them hosted somewhere, the UBB code to make them show up in your posts will look a bit like this: [url="http://www.somehost.com/directory/largeImage.jpg"][img=http://www.somehost.com/directory/thumbnail.jpg][/url] (Of course the domain and filenames will be your own.)

Mattallica Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 sorry about being a little slow on this, im on photo bucket as well, and have my pics hosted there, now what do i do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm not sure how photobucket works. But if you click on something like 'share', or right click on the picture, it should give you various code options that you can cut and paste. One of those will be for thumbnails.

Pete Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I use Photobucket too, but i couldn't find a way to post thumbnails, which when clicked, open up into full size pictures. I posted the IMG link from Photobucket and it did reduce the size, but only to about 60% of the original picture. I've tried everything on Photobucket, but nothing there seems to work, so instead, i saved the pictures i have on Photobucket to my desktop and used the "attachments section" below where you type when posting. I used the "browse" button to find each picture, "uploaded" it and in the position i wanted to paste it, i simply selected it in the "manage current attachment" bar and hit the "insert" icon. That finally gave me thumbnails, which when clicked... open out to my full picture. Wish i would have known about this when i first started, would have saved me loads of time! Hope that helps and here's an example. One thing i have just noticed though, if you don't paste the pictures link into your text at the position of your choosing, but you still have uploaded it into the attachments section, it displays the picture at the end text automatically.
