thanks for the info, do you have to go through all of this jsut to attatace thumbnails.? seems like a lot of trouble . i have the pic already downloaded on my puter now. is this how everyone gets there pic on here is through photobucket?
Using a third-party hosting site isn't necessary unless you want your photos to show up full-size. It's a lot simpler to just upload them direct from your hard drive - they'll show up as a thumbnail, and when anyone clicks on them, they become full-size.
Just use the "Manage Attachments" button in the "Additional Options" box below the window you compose your text in, browse your hard drive for the image you want, click "Open", then click "Upload", then "submit reply", and you're done - takes longer to describe it than it does to do it. Works best with images around 640x480 (about 60K); re-size your image first if it's too big.
Note: You CAN'T do that if you use the "Quick Reply" window.
