Rabidweezil Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Forgive my ignorance, but some of the pics people post are in thumbnails that you click on and a full pic opens up. That works great if you want to post a group of pics. I'm not sure how that's done. Can anyone enlighten me please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Which post in particular are you talking about? The forum software automatically generates a thumbnail pic for all attachments. The alternative is using a image hosting service which also generates a thumbnail for posting in forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabidweezil Posted October 28, 2005 Author Share Posted October 28, 2005 well none of the pics in this thread are thumbs, including mine at the bottom: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...opic=16312&st=0 but the pics in this thread are: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...pic=1568&st=900 all the thumbs have an address of http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/uploads/ does that mean that in order for a thumb to be generated the pics are uploaded on the forum somewhere? I know this whole thing is probably so simple, but the method is totally escaping me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) well none of the pics in this thread are thumbs, including mine at the bottom:http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...opic=16312&st=0 Those pics are hosted off-site. You are using the "img" tags to post those pics. but the pics in this thread are:http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...pic=1568&st=900 all the thumbs have an address of http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/uploads/ Those are all attachments. Image attachments are automatically set to generate thumbnails for those attachments. does that mean that in order for a thumb to be generated the pics are uploaded on the forum somewhere?I know this whole thing is probably so simple, but the method is totally escaping me. 340401[/snapback] As I said, thumbnail pics are generated when the image is uploaded as an attachment. Images that posted from an off-site location use "img" tags. If you want to not attach a bunch of images in your post but want to post thumbs, use a image hosting service. Most generate a thumbnail pics and provide you with forum "img" posting code. Edited October 28, 2005 by azrael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
