Homer Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Example: This will only be of interest to a few on here, but thought it worth mentioning that you can use thumbnails with images hosted on this forum (useful for project threads in particular, where you might not want full images displayed in the post) 1) Upload the images in your post 2) Click 'preview post' 2) Right click the chosen thumbnail at the bottom of the previewed reply and copy the full URL to notepad (lets call it pic1) 3) Click the image and copy the URL to notepad (lets call it pic2) 4) Enter the following code, copy the image links above into the place of 'pic1' and 'pic2', the image will appear as a thumbnail where you want it in the post [noparse]pic1[/noparse] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Or, you can use the [noparse][attach]{attachid}[/attach][/noparse] tags like this. Then the image wont appear at the bottom of the post and the hyper link to the full picture is done automatically. The {attachid} can be found from the URL on the "Current Attachments" section of the "Manage Attachments" screen when you upload attachments, e.g. [noparse]http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=[/noparse]103994[noparse]&stc=1&d=1263974744[/noparse] [attach]103994[/attach] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 How can you increase the pic in size (eg the cat pic is quite small like this)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 How can you increase the pic in size (eg the cat pic is quite small like this)? The pic of the cat is a thumbnail bud. A thumbnail is a smaller version of the original image that you can click to see the full image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 How can you increase the pic in size (eg the cat pic is quite small like this)? Just click on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yep ... I know that. However, some people upload pics that are full size without having to click on it. My question was how to do this? P.S. I know that I am not a big IT specialist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. I know that I am not a big IT specialist They put the full picture URL in an [noparse][/noparse] tag instead. I would prefer people didn't do that too often though. Thumbnails are much better as you get the idea of what the image is about and only need to use up our bandwidth downloading the full size copy of the ones you actually want.

Hosting somewhere else might help with that, like imagshack.us Chris uses his own FTP server quite a bit so actually I think he's wrong and doesn't use the forum's bandwidth that much.

mawby Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hosting somewhere else might help with that, like imagshack.usThat fine, but please don't host technical images on imageshack. Very annoying searching technical for something only to find the image you're after has since been removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
