Hi glowworm,
I use
http://imageshack.us/ to host the images (it's free). A lot of people use imageshack to host their eBay images (that's where I first learned about it). Even though it says:
maximum image size: 1024 kilobytes
that's not true. The FAQ says you can upload 3MB images if you want. As for the thumbnails, anything over 200x200 pixels becomes a thumbnail which, when clicked, shows the original. Try it out... after you host the image, they give you the BB code to post it...you just copy/paste the code.
Regards,
eric
edit: if you could upload the images
on this thread to a permanent location, like imageshack, instead of your personal web space, I'd appreciate it....contributes to the longevity of the topic.
