what attracts you first?

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

Uploading an image to a photo-hosting site isn't the issue. I have used FlickR for years. Nor is reducing the image to a thumbnail. I already did that in the earlier post. FlickR, like PhotoBucket, alows you to choose what size image to share. What I want is a thumbnail that serves as a link to the full-sized image... without spending hours writing code.

Juniper's solution turns the thumbnail into a link... but it only links to the same image in thumbnail format. I think it only fair if Scher is going to request we change how we post images, that we be given a decent tutorial as to just how to go about doing that...

My example above accomplishes exactly what you are wanting to do. If you click on my thumbnail, it will take you directly to the full size image in my PB album. Within your host site you can then determine/set how large you want that fullsize image to appear.
Does that help?

Juniper's solution actually sounded simple, maybe she can present an example.

Anyhow this digresses from the premise of the thread.

Gilliat that is an interesting portrait picture. Who is it supposed to be if you do not mind me asking?

I'll respond on your profile page.

Well, I'm definitely not going through all the trouble of saving every image I want to post and then uploading it to potobucket. What a pain.

It is not my responsibility to run tutorials as it is not a Literature Network Forums site function. There are many tutorials available on the net if you care to ask Google.

Well, if it's not even a function of the site, the mighty forum creators must not think it's that big of a deal.

In that case, you will not post any images on the site, I presume.

Apparently they do.

I think this discussion has lasted long enough. This is not a newly introduced rule. Nor is it applied strictly unless images are posted in excessive numbers.

Now, the original topic of the thread:

usually we know straight away when we see the person that we like them because something physically or maybe something else did it for us.

Off-topic posts wiil be removed without further notice.

A girl who drinks beer (at least with me). Says alot.

A girl who drinks beer (at least with me). Says alot.

This was the second thing that immediately caught my attention with my wife (The first being that I first ran into her at a book store perusing a copy of Dante's Comedia). She was able to keep up with me beer for beer.

So, can we continue the conversation on clothes as art, or is that off topic? It seems to be one of the more interesting conversations in a long time.

I have never met a girl in a bookstore, but nice find a book reading (Dante at that) beer drinking lass - how cool.

Is it uncommon for Girls not to drink beer? maybe it is a generation thing but all of my female friends drink beer. (That awkward moment when you realize how hard it is to express the notion, of a friend who is a girl, in the english language without it being highly affected.)

[tonywalt]

I think it's common for girls to drink beer, but not the rule. Mixed drinks are more common this side of the world from my observation-for everyone.

In the UK I usually get a thimble of spirits (painfully measured with the stern eye of bartender) when ordering a mixed drink. But I love lager and Bitter, and lots more...

Idril drinks beer; I prefer Zima.

Does Zima still exist? I thought it was gone. That was tasty stuff.

White Russians for me. (the thread is even more off-topic now )

No, I just realized that if you want to do it my way you've got to have a link to a thumnail and a large-scale photo and that's still a bit of work. But, say you've got both thumbnail and large-scale link, the first thing you'd do is copy and paste the thumbnail .jpg into the box that pops up when you click the images icon in 'advanced post,' (the tiny little picture of a mountain range), then you'd highlight the whole resulting code that comes up. Now you click the little hyperlink icon (the globe with the chain) with the code still highlighted and post the .jpg of the large version into the window that pops up. Basically, you're wrapping the URL tags around the IMG tags. It'll look like this, but without the spaces (and with your own .jpg instead of this one, obviously):

[ URL="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5e/Bruegel,_Pieter_de_Oude_-_De_val_van_icarus_-_hi_res.jpg/370px-Bruegel,_Pieter_de_Oude_-_De_val_van_icarus_-_hi_res.jpg" ][ IMG ]http://img.freebase.com/api/trans/image_thumb/en/landscape_with_the_fall_of_icarus?pad=1&errorid=%2 Ffreebase%2Fno_image_png&maxheight=64&mode=fillcro pmid&maxwidth=64[ /IMG ][ /URL ]

Resulting in this:

I have never met a girl in a bookstore, but nice find a book reading (Dante at that) beer drinking lass - how cool.

Someone once developed a crush on me because they saw me reading Dante in a country bar. I was drinking a strawberry shortcake smoothie, though.

Oh I always assumed it was:

Beer with lunch, or white wine with summer luncheon

Red wine with dinner, or white wine in summer and eating fish

and in the evenings mixers/cocktails
