MSN groups are nice but they handle images dreadfully! The look so much better here. There are 2 ways to handle making thumbnails. You can resize in your generator after you save your main image or you can resize in a secondary program like PSP or Photoshop (or even Paint). If you have a secondary program (I have heard Irfanview is great and it's free), you should be saving your main image at twice the size you want to display it, then resizing it down. That will remove most of the 'jaggies' you see on curves and diagonal lines. After saving that image, you can then resize down to the required thumbnail size that Nick mentioned above^. I have a separate folder for Renderosity where I file my images to post here. I name the main one 'image.jpg' and the thumbnail 'imageth.jpg' so they are always right next to each other and easy to find. When I upload the images, I then put it in a 'posted file' where I accumulate them until I have enough to save on a CD. I hope that was helpful.

Fractals will always amaze me!
