Hi all
I looked for this tutorial (I could swear I saw it somewhere but can't find it anymore) and I figured this might come in handy for some of our members:

In many threads we ask that you post a thumbnail or large image of your gallery page...

It's very simple to do, really:

When you are on the page of the LO you want to post, you will see this below your LO:

Closeup:

Place your cursor in the box for the Image or Thumbnail (i.e. click in the box where the link is) depending on which you want to copy
This should highlight the whole link box automatically, if not, do CTRL+A
then you copy (CTRL+C) -- some browsers might copy automatically, mine doesn't --

and then all you have to do is paste that, as you copied it, in the post you are writing.

No need to bother with these icons:

Easy peasy!


This way, people can click on the image in the thread, and be taken straight to your gallery they can then see the credits for the page or leave some :wub: too!!!

er, nah, someone else pointed to it and I felt really silly I had created the same post, but the other one is in another part of the forum, so I didn't want to delete that one in case some people look here :wink3:
