Re: How to show thumbnails?

Typically, you'll have 2 URLs. One is for the main image, and one is for thumbnail image. Use the following code:

PHP Code:
[url=INSERT.MAIN.IMAGE.URL.HERE][img]INSERT.THUMBNAIL.URL.HERE[/img][/url

Re: How to show thumbnails?

Or just resize the main image to a smallersize - not ideal if you have a page of 20 images or so...

if there's lots use what singh said, if it's just 1 or 2 pics then use the following:

Code:
<img src="image.jpg" width="100" height="100">
obviously size to suit.

Might be worth mentioning that most image sites (eg ImageShack) actually produce the code you need. All you need to do is copy and paste

Re: How to show thumbnails?

looking at photobucket the thumbnails just have a prefix on images, so:

image.jpg

becomes:

th_image.jpg

Re: How to show thumbnails?

Ok, i have the thumbnails working (thanks),. but now i want to arrange them in a row, rather than the current column i'm getting. Any ideas?

Instead of hittin [RETURN] or [ENTER], use space bar.
