Thumbnails?

I notice many people insert thumbnails into posts, and clicking on them lead to the bigger pics.

How do I just post the thumbnails?

It helps if you are using a service like photobucket which automatically creates thumbnails of whatever you upload. Right-click the preview thumbnail, and select either "view image" or "copy image location" to get the address of the thumb (I prefer view, as it lets you confirm that the address leads to the correct item). Post that address in the , highlight the result, and insert a link to the full image.

For reference, trying to select the image and resizing it with those 8 squares does not work.

Photobucket's thumbnails have "th_" before the actual file name.

Here is an example image with a thumbnail that links to a larger version:

This is the result:
