    I posted some pics on a thread by using the image link from photobucket. The pics loaded real big instead of being thumbnails like I would have liked. Will resizing the pics make them load as thumbnails? And if so, what size is a good one to use? Thanks!

    Did you upload images to board? (Re: Pics too big??)

    Dear tonytheplumber and V-8 Buick members,

    Are you trying to insert the images from photobucket directly into your posting or upload them using the "Manage Attachments" feature of V-8 Buick? I think you need to use the "Manage Attachments" feature to get the thumbnails at the bottom of the posting.

    Cheers, Edouard :beer

    I believe PB has thumbnail choice in their links.

    to edit:
    if this works then there is a link.

    Tony,

    In your Photobucket album, you have to put your mouse pointer over the thumbnail of the uploaded image.
    If you do so, the Share/Copy codes will show up under the thumbnail, like this:

    If you copy the code that says "IMG thumb" and paste it in your post, it will show up like a "clickable thumbnail"

    Why is it when I drift over pics in my photobucket album I don't get any "thumbnail" options at all? I only get: "Email & IM", "Direct link", "HTML code", and "IMG code". Those are to options that show up for me. Do I have some setting somewhere I need to change??

    Thanks Edouard, that worked just fine. Seemed to take quite a while for the pics to load though

    My screenshot is from his Photobucket album, so he is already sharing his photos.
