    Can someone tell me how to post a linked THUMBNAIL in the forum tracking thread(s) instead of the regular size version? I mean a thumbnail that shows the whole image, not the truncated version that shows in the gallery. I see Dalis doing it. How can I?

    In the gallery, viewing your page, under SHARE THIS LAYOUT... copy the link that says Share BB [ IMG ] (With Thumbnail) Code and paste that in your tracking thread :) if that makes sense!

    I also save my images as 600x600 pixels before uploading to the gallery. Then when I do the post that Jan recommends, then appear smaller in a post..

    i think @BevG is right - some of my pages are saved at 700x700 and the thumbnails (linked like Jan described) for them are bigger than my normal 600x600 pages

    I tried that, but it truncates my ATC (3.5 x 2.5) to a square. So, I guess it can't be done at this site. Thanks anyway.

    If you simply canvas your ATC on a white 600x600 background, it will maintain the correct proportion in the thumbnail.

    That's what I do with anything that's not square! A white background and it looks fine.

    Sorry I didn't quite understand! When I do pages that aren't square, I do what Laura suggested as well. :)
