hi geordieles, thank you for posting, i have tried directlink. For some reason, it wont let me copy on the thumbnail size in albums, so i click on image, which brings up larger version, and i go to far right of pg. and left click on link, it then says copied. I then come here and bring up insert media, right click , then click paste, and either it does nothing, or it shows a little white box with red X, or it prints the link adress instead of the photo. Sad thing is i know its just a simple click or two from getting it right. If you have any other advice id sure would welcome it, if so , perhaps send it to me in messages or my profile so that im not tying the scorers up reading this stuff. Either way thanks again, pete.
