Wrennie:
I have a question!!!
I've been posting clickable thumbnails down in crafts & other areas. Theyre good for quicker load for dial up users. I get that. But the coding is longer. Which is better for bandwidth? clickables or direct links? Or does it matter? I dont quite get exactly what bandwidth is....
Jim:
Good question. The clickables are probably better as far as bandwidth goes. Bandwidth is a term used to describe the amount of data, in bytes, that is transferred to or from a server in a specific time. It is usually measured monthly. When someone clicks on the topic, the thumbnail is displayed using some bandwidth. When a person clicks on the thumbnail, the click using some bandwidth but the picture is displayed, in your case from photobucket, and that would be using the bandwidth from there.
I like the clickables.
patches:
Okay, Jim, that's great, but how do you do clickables? :dunno:
Jim:
You would use the URL tag as well as the IMG tag. In the IMG tag, you add "th_" to the file name. This stands for thumbnail. Here's what the code looks like:
--- Code: ---[url=http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k180/JimBaby/jimdianna.jpg][IMG]http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k180/JimBaby/th_jimdianna.jpg[/IMG][/url]
--- End code ---
Here is what the clickable thumbnail looks like:
When you click it, it opens the full size pic in another window.
