Thumbnails for attached images?

    Hi all.

    Just wondering if I'm missing something when it comes to uploading images.
    On various other boards I'm familiar with, if an image is 'attached' to a post, it appears as a clickable thumbnail at the end of the post in a box titled 'Attached Thumbnails.'
    On boards.ie, I can't get it to appear any other way than as a clickable icon in a box titled 'Attached Images.'

    Am I missing something obvious somewhere, or is this just 'the way it is?'

    People upload their images to http://imageshack.us/, which provide a thumbnail.

    The image thumbnails can show up in a post (if set to by admin) but this puts a strain on bandwidth and resources of the server, the norm on larger board sites is to just display a link thus keeping everything fast(er)

    Thanks god's toy, it would appear that the thumbnail feature isn't set up on these boards.

    Ah well, now that Robert has shown me ImageShack, I can do my own thumbnails.

    Here's a pic for the sys admins among us-
