Those are clickable links to the pictures, which given the size (1600x1200 and about half a meg) is the best way to do it.

You can not use old forum name URL references. You have to search the new forum database and then copy that URL - when you find what you want.

This is because the old forum database was converted - not copied - into the new forum.

OK, I've sussed it.

Clickable thumbnails.

The problem was, in the original thread the full size image had been linked. probably because the old software needed quotes around URLs so the "thumbnail for forum" link on imageshack wouldn't work. Now it does and it was a simple bit of detective work to figure out the url for the thumbnail view.

You could press the quote button next to my post then copy the block of gobbledygook and paste it into a reply on the other thread.

Or just link to this one.

Or is this the thread you want it in?
