I'm new to this board, and have two very basic questions:
1) I see that pretty much everyone posts their images as attachments (possibly with a zipfile attached), rather than as a link to an image hosting website such as imagevenue. Is that because the use of such hosting websites is frowned upon? I didn't see anything against using them in the rules, but figure it'd be better to find out ahead of time.
2) The reason for the first question is that I wanted to post some HQ images that are bigger than the max size allowed for attachments (each pic is around 1 to 1.5 MB). I could reduce them and go the attachment route, but I figure people might enjoy the HQ images. So I tried to upload them to imagevenue and post the thumbnail/link, which looks something like
[URL ]....url to main image...[IMG]...url to thumbnail...[/IMG][/URL]
But I couldn't get the thumbnails to display. Assuming that there are no objections to posting images like this, what should I be doing?
Thanks a lot,
Curmudgeon
P.S.: when I try to indent the line that says "...url to main image" etc., using the little formatting button for indenting above the message composition window (right above "Guided Mode/Enhanced Mode"), I get a "ERROR! Page Not Found." FYI.
