The general method for inserting a link is to use the link button on the toolbar, but if the link is to an http site then it can be entered directly. All URL's will be converted to an http address. That's where the issues arise with the ftp links.

The general method allows you to specify the link to the file plus what is displayed.
What is displayed can be:
* Some text, like the URL or something descriptive
* An image, full-sized or scaled

When folks are posting those gigapixel images I find it overwhelming and not a very good photo journal. I suggest that a scaled image be created in the second field. This creates a "zoom-able image". Photo journals can now have the scaled images arranged in the post in a much better format and when clicked will display the nice, hi-res image.

Thanks Dave. Since clicking reply does not reproduce the original code to examine, and as a result one cannot see what you actually inserted to create the nice link, can you reproduce the actual text of what you inserted to create it? Maybe even include this reply in the Articles sub-forum as that will be a more logical place for folks to find it. Thanks.
