Sometimes I post photos that are simply too big, and could benefit by having only a thumbnail, leaving the choice to the viewer.

How do I post a thumbnail instead of a full size pic?

For a fullsize it's only a matter of clicking the wee yellow button, but what about a thumbnail?

Thanks!

Thmbnails vs. full size.

I think the fullsize would win because they are bigger. Oh wait you mean posting them LOL.

I prefer the full picture too. When I post thumbnails people don't always see them. Besides I just clicked on somebody's thumbnail five minutes ago and the "large" pictures was hardly bigger

I prefer the full size myself, and sorry Za, I don't know how to post the thumbnails either!

I like the full picture too. If the picture is way to big I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to resize it down a bit before posting.

I prefer the full size too. I figured out how to do the thumbnails in the beginning. I try to post the full size as much as possible. If you want to see one of the problems with the thumnails chack out the ones on the last page of this thread.

Bigfun when you download your pictures from your image sharing site, you can choose your image format there . There should be a thumbnail selection you can activate with a click. Thumbnails are nice when you have oversized images (especially when some smart guy quotes the text with the same image over and over again in the same thread) . However when I can choose I prefer the full image, it's more appealing, even if the loading time is a bit longer.

I think if you upload them to the Gallery and then use the link from there in the body of the message, they show up as thumbnails.

That is correct : downloading from the forum galery will automatically give you thumbnails without any extra hassle.
