Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Step by Step: Posting thumbnails with links to larger images1. By navigating the images in your web-based gallery of choice, copy the link for your large image:
(e.g. http://jpeake.smugmug.com/photos/34390217-L.jpg) 2. Paste the link into your forum post 3. To the left of your link, type [url= 4. To the right of your link, type ][/url] 5. You should end up with a line that looks like this: [url=http://jpeake.smugmug.com/photos/34390217-L.jpg][/url] 6. Next, copy the link for your thumbnail image from the same gallery (e.g. http://jpeake.smugmug.com/photos/34390217-S.jpg) 7. In between the ] and the [ of your previous line, paste the new link to your smaller image, or type [img] and [/img] either side of it... 8. Highlight the link to the smaller image and click on the Img button at the top of the message window... 9. Preview your post to ensure you've achieved the desired result... 10. For any image the complete line in your post should resemble the following: [url=large_link][img]small_link[/img][/url] Cheers, John

If you did all of the above correctly, then you should see:

Leek, I felt so sorry for you typing all this in each time that i made a little script for you:
1. Choose your large image, eg http://jpeake.smugmug.com/photos/34390217-L.jpg 2. Paste it into the Zoomomator 3. Press "Make URL" 4. Copy and paste the resulting PHPBB text back into the forum I hope this helps! It only does SMUGMUG "-L" and "-S" links but if you regularly use another gallery or format, let me know and I can make it produce different links for different gallery URL formats.
What a star... that's a damn sight easier!!!
Cheers, John

Tutorial pleaseHi, would really like the 'how to' content of this thread added to the tutorial list along with 'How to Post' topic .. how do we get this done ?
As a newbie I am like a big sponge for information but realistically know I will need to refer to the instructons from time to time Rgds DebT PS and yes I do need to take my camera instruction manual with me I figure it's better to look like a dumb blonde than take photos that confirm it
Deb - that's a good idea. I'll look into organising for both this and the other embed an image post to be linked that way.

Re: Step by Step: Posting thumbnails with links to larger imagesHi all,
I have recently started using FLickr to host some of my photos. They say in their T&C that they require a link to their site from the photo. Fair enough, but I can't seem to make it work. They give sample code for html, but cutting and pasting that doesn't seem to work, and when I try the above method [url=""][img][/img][/url] using bits of the sample code, that just seems to link to the photo, not the web site. Could some one in the know please explain to this Dummy how to do this. Preferably in words of one syllable or less Greg

Re: Step by Step: Posting thumbnails with links to larger imagesGreg,
Post a sample so we can see what's not working.
Re: Step by Step: Posting thumbnails with links to larger imagesI just posted from flickr using these instructions, with some level of success. It strikes me that some of this code is redundant if it is displayed rather than translated, or am I just doin' it wrong?
The code I used for the first image is
and the result looks like this http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=35433
I am not very confident with post-processing, so please feel free to edit and repost.

Re: Step by Step: Posting thumbnails with links to larger imagesYou don't need the
at the start or the
at the end. i.e.
is all you need.
Re: Step by Step: Posting thumbnails with links to larger imagesThis is the code supplied by Flickr
This is the photo as displayed by
![]() This is the photo using the bbCode at the top of the thread. Hmm. This is different to what it was a few days ago. Did I highlight an issue with it?
![]() And now it works ![]() Thanks ATJ, Darxtorm I realise now what I had done wrong. I had left out all the preg_replace stuff which I figured (correctly as it turns out!) was not needed, but put the url in quotes. Damn. ![]() Greg

Re: Step by Step: Posting thumbnails with links to larger imMr Darcy, I am a Newbie to Online forums and despite a look at this thread and earlier guides I cannot quite get the gist of imbedding urls of a picture.
I am using Picasa. Is that a photo sharing site that will work for this purpose? When I have used the Picasa-offered "imbed image" or "Link to this photo" The whole Picasa page turns up for "MY photos". I had a look at SmugMug and an explanation for photo sharing sites on Wikipedia. This led me to conclude that Picasa should be OK. Perhaps I am wrong. All a bit daunting... Victor03
