Pics as links?

[cosmic]

I am wondering if it's possible to post a pic that is a link

Namely, I would like to post some thumbnails in a thread, where clicking on the thumbnail links you to the full size image.

I tried
[*url="full_size_URL"][*img]thumbnail_URL[*/img][/*url]
(without any * ) but that didn't work.

In HTML it would look like:
<A HREF="fullsize_URL"><IMG="thumbnail_URL"></a>

I am sure there is a way to do it, but I'm all

I have often problems with that too...but it is possible

lets see if I remember how it works...


Test: Picture should link to the picture section of the Afterglow




EDIT: it worked!

this is what I typed:

[*img]http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7627/wednesdaybs9.jpg[*/img][*/url]

(without the * of course)

Thank you thank you!!!

I think what was messing me up was the use of quotes around the URL. Apparently the board software does not like them, and the URL ends up being http:///

You're welcome!

if you want to use thumbnails because the original pic is too big there is also another option that is probably a bit easier: if you use imageshack for hosting the picture you could just take the special thumbnail link that they offer:



(other pic-hosting sites probably have a similar option)


it would look like this then:
