Hi,

I've noticed a few people post smaller thumbnails on the forum, and you can click them to view the larger picture. How can I do that with my Pixspot photo's ? I have a whole bunch I'd like to present, but I want to keep the post small by having thumbnail versions.

Thanks.
Craig

It's essentially done the same way.

What you do is post the thumbnail as the image, so.. like you normally would:
[img]<image%20address>[/img] (without the spaces).

Okay, so you've got the basic thumbnail set up for it there, right?
Then, select the text for all of (including the img tags) and click the "URL" button and fill in the URL as you normally would for a link.

Here's an example of the code:

Lol. I think it does.

Now make a thread with those images and their links in them. :)
