I think I got it. I didn't use

Code: Select all

 from above though. I used [URL] from above with the "BBCode (message boards & forums)" link from the site. Set the photo to "Large Thumbnail".

If you do it this way... you can show a larger picture when it is clicked on:

Code: Select all

[URL=http://imgur.com/1KC01Qn.jpg][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1KC01Qnl.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

1KC01Qn.jpg is the original that you get when you click.
1KC01Qnl.jpg is the large thumbnail that is displayed.

So you put 2 links between the [URL]?

[vh junkie]

What is really happening is that the IMG is nested inside the URL start tag and the /URL end tag.
Here we have text nested inside the URL tag instead of the IMG. WHen you click on the text you are taken to imgur to see the large picture. SO... the URL tag surrounds what is clicked on, and takes you to a given location when you click on it.

Code: Select all

[URL=http://imgur.com/1KC01Qn.jpg]Click Here![/URL]

Click Here!

The image that is displayed is inside the IMG start tag and /IMG end tag. We could just put this on the page, and we would have an image that does nothing when you click on it.

Code: Select all

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1KC01Qnl.jpg[/IMG]

But, if we put the IMG tag inside the URL tag, the IMG becomes clickable.

Code: Select all

[URL=http://imgur.com/1KC01Qn.jpg][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1KC01Qnl.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I have no idea how you are getting that to set up that way.

Why is nobody else trying this?

[vanhalen5150]

Click me.

Ok, basically select your image from the site. Select "large Thumb". Click and save the "Linked BB" (not the other one). Directly paste to your post. Adding "click me" to go to the original image.

My mistake was using the above {Img] and [URL] provided in the above boxes when you start a post. No need to use those at all.
