The premises behind a "clickable" link in a phpBB post is comprised of two parts:
1. A "Target URL" --> What document will open when a link is clicked; and
2. A "Target Mask" --> Something "pretty" to cover the the "http://www..." link.
CREATING A CLICKABLE TEXT LINK
[URL = http://www/Image_FileName.JPG ] A Link to My Picture File [/URL]
... The above is of the format [URL = Target URL ] Target Mask [/URL]
... There are blank spaces in the prior which would be omitted when creating a clickable link of course.
CREATING A CLICKABLE THUMBNAIL LINK
This assumes that on your host server you have these two files: "Image_FileName.JPG" and "TN_ImageFileName.JPG".
... "Image_FileName.JPG" -> Your "full size image", example: 800 x 600 DPI
... "TN_ImageFileName.JPG" -> Your "thumbnail image", example: 96 x 96 DPI
So adapting from the clickable TEXT link code, we replace the text "mask" we created for the image URL which was "A Link to My Picture File" with a thumbnail "mask".
[URL = http://www/Image_FileName.JPG ]
[/URL]
So, we replaced clickable text "A Link to My Picture File" link to the full size image... with a clickable thumbnail to the full size image.
