Can I use image thumbnails in PBwiki?

Some images are too large to put in web pages. You don't want someone waiting 5 minutes to see your web page while a very large image you posted there is downloading.

Some webservices allow you to upload large images and then display a smaller version of the image on a web page. When someone clicks the smaller image, the large image is shown.

We don't do this for you but we can tell you a fairly easy way to accomplish the same thing in a wiki.

This method requires you to upload two images into your Files storage area. The first image is the full size image and the second image is a smaller (thumbnail) size version of the full size image. You can easily create a smaller image in most image editing tools.

Let's call them large.jpg and small.jpg.

Post a small image that is a link to the large image using the Classic editor or the Point and Click Editor.

Classic source code:
<a href="f/large.jpg"><img src="f/small.jpg"></a>

Point and Click method:
1. Click on Files button at the top of a wiki page. Upload the large.jpg image.
2. Edit a page and click on the Insert Image button. Upload the small.jpg and insert it into the page.
3. Right click on the small image and choose image properties.
4. Choose the Link tab and type in the address of the large image.

The address or URL for any image you upload to your wiki is the as shown below except for the file name at the end.
http:// + YOUR-WIKI-NAME + .pbwiki.com/ + f/ + IMAGE-FILE-NAME
example: http://yourwiki.pbwiki.com/f/large.jpg
