This is probably a very stupid question, but, can anyone tell me how to create a thumbnail so that I can include it in a post? Thanx.

As someone here once remarked, The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Create your Poser/Bryce image and render it, then reduce it's size/resolution/colour depth as required. Make sure that it is in JPG format. There are now two options open to you 1> Posting an image/thumbnail when you start a thread. Just browse for the image on your HDD in the box that says images. 2> Adding an image/thumbnail in an existing thread. You'll need to have the image on your website, and you just link to it with the HTML "IMG SRC=" command Hope this helps Paul

Your thumbnail should be no larger than 200X200 pixels in size and it goes into the seconde line when you are uploading work in the Galleries. Does this make it a tad clearer? S Verdie : )

I open my pic(2000x2000 usually) in pshop, size it down to (150x150 pixels). You could also crop a portion of your pic & use that bit as your thumbnail(Just show an interesting part that will make the user go "Hmmm" that looks interesting!). And save it with a suffix: image01 --> image01_tmb. Makes it easier when you look for the thumb that goes with your pic. on a PC, you can also use the Basic Paint in "Accessories" to do that! Marc
