adding thumbnails

sdad · 4th April 2011, 01:11 PM

How do I add in thumbnails? I see how to attach files, but thumbnails ? I don't see how. I do see a button for inserting an image, but that requires a known url where the image is. Is that what I need to put in a thumb? My drawing is on my computer. I would have to first upload to some site that I don't have and then insert? Must be the insert image button isn't what I want.

Hi.

-Click "Go Advanced"
-At the bottom click "Manage Attachments"
-A window will open, and then you can browse your files on your computer to upload them.

Tips: re-size your images to be within 1000x1000 pixels and less than 100kB.

HI Chartal.
Thanks for responding. I am able to do uploads as attachments, have done that in the past. What I am referring to is the thumbnails that I see on some folks' posts. When you mouse over a zoom appears and when done you can unzoom. That's what I would like to be able to do. I did a search on thumbnails came up empty. Maybe I'll need to pm someone how does it.

The thumbnails are generated automagically when you attach an image. The forum server does it.

Try one in this thread, it should work.

OK I just uploaded a .gif as an attachment as I normally do. Let's see. OMG! Maybe all I've ever uploaded was text???? Hmm, don't recall that. Sorry to bother.
