@nn Glad to see you've broken the posting barrier. Its much easier from here it seems.
(Unless you have sometimes crippling OCD that causes you to implode ... Just saying it out loud as I'm stuck on both the PDN front atm and with a project I need to be working on non-PDN ...)
On a side note, I didn't understand this was still a pending need/question after I saw BBQ's answer. Wait, nvm, time stamp wise I wasn't near this at the time ... So guess I need to stop appologizing ...

Yep, that is correct. One of the things I don't like with this board is that it is hard to get a preview. As long as you don't use the Quick Reply, Preview should always work

Ok, I'm experimenting here as I ask this question. When I want to post a thumbnail image that links to a full size image, such as I see in most of the galleries, do I use the Insert Hyperlink icon? I can't get the Insert Image icon to give a preview image, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong, or the failure pertains to those duplicate image/url codes from photobucket. The Insert Hyperlink did work. Is this how it is done?

Don`t bother will Insert Image or Add Hyperlink. Just copy and paste into the message box the IMG Thumb code from the list of codes underneath your chosen image. To go straight to the full size image delete the part that says ?action=view¤t=. To check your image is displaying properly just click on the `Preview' button instead of the `Post Reply'

No, just use the IMG Thumb that photobucket supplies you. EXAMPLE: [URL=http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee430/delpart/Scraps%20and%20postings/inversion2.png][IMG]http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee430/delpart/Scraps%20and%20postings/th_inversion2.png[/IMG][/URL] The first part is the url link it will take the person to, follwed by the IMG tag to display the thumbnail that PB automagically creates for you. Bascially you can do this manually, like I do when I use my other hosting, but PB makes it simple and easy so you dont have to do anything more than copy and past from the selections. Also check your settings to make sure this box is unchecked and for all the options to be available see those other checkboxes. You can find this dialog under your account settings > albumn settings: Additional shot of the one you want to use most of the time for this need:

... To go straight to the full size image delete the part that says [glow=red,2,300]?action=view¤t=. [/glow] To check your image is displaying properly just click on the `Preview' button instead of the `Post Reply' Dont need to manually edit the links anymore: You missed my blather on this GF, but that check-box I have highlighted makes it so you dont have to do that manually anymore. It was part of the new interface late last year. Just mentioning that specifically again since I forgot to mention why that box (re-used image) was highlighted ... Double-post I did just because ...

Every time I don't have to edit my thumbnail link, I think of you Delpart & thank you!
What a great find. I stuffed up many a link because of needing to edit the link.
Mindshift, we are pleased you asked the question because others might be thinking the same thing too. You have also given me an idea ;D

Thanks Del , I`ll adjust my settings . Never knew about that. Went to do this but can`t adjust anything! I can view my profile but even though the tabs highlight when I hover over them I cannot access them. I can`t even change any details under my own profile tab. All my pictures are OK though. Not good. update - done it - eventually ! Don`t know why the Album Settings tab took so long to load. I clicked on it and had to wait several minutes! Just a test and a nice bottle of top quality wine for you Del - It works!

I know the feeling. PB sometimes is overtly slow. But far easier and less Adobe oriented than playing with Flikr. (For those that dont know Adobe owns Flikr.) At least for this stuff I found it the better match. For pure photo love and anti-theft, etc Flikr is perhaps the better way to go, if you're paid ... There is no one to one for the two services besides the similarities. They really are rather different in their model and approach.
Glad you all got it sorted. That check-box really saved me some headaches.

I've only ever used the thumbnail or image links, and haven't had to edit at all. I just click it, it says "copied" and then I paste. I wouldn't be able to function without copy / paste.

I just had a weird problem after posting in the Banner Discussion thread. I finished my post and posted it up , with all Sargon`s images, avs and sigs from all the previous posts visible. Then after a short time they all began to disappear! One after the other the image went to be replaced by `posted image' text. Normally it`s the other way round. The text disappears to be replaced by the image as the page loads. I have never seen the image load properly , then disappear before. What could be happening?

I just posted in that thread and had no problems like you describe Gooney. Hopefully it was only a transient glitch

Anyone heard from delpart ? It's been a while since I've seen him on any forums

Nope, was just thinking the same myself last couple of days. He was having some issues with his internet. I really hope all is good with him & that he will be back soon.

Yes , I miss his long rambling answers to questions. The internet is such a fickle thing. Only today I had to reboot the laptop to get the internet working because there was no connection when I opened up from sleep mode. And yet most other days it works fine.

How strange - I was just going to post asking about @dp as well. I know he is going through what my hubby is (cancer) at the moment, so I expect he's feeling very low at the moment. I've been thinking about him too

I never realised. That`s terrible. I do hope he gets over it. Getting better is far more important than PDN .

I didn't know that either, I was wondering about him too. I hope he's getting better.

Explains a lot why some of his posts were so introspective. Like all of you hoping for a good outcome.
