<![CDATA[<p>Why doesn't <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> show "thumbnail" images of photos in a folder?</p><p><P><STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> treats photo files (JPEG, GIF, etc.) just like other files. Unlike with dedicated photo-sharing or photo management sites like BubbleShare, Flickr or PictureTrail, there are no capabilities in <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> for thumbnails, slideshows or other photo-specific functionality.</P>
<P>We prefer, and we are sure you would prefer, for the <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> servers and storage space to be available for course work rather than tied up with users downloading full-size photos -- especially as finals approach. </P>
<P>Especially because of the large size of photo files copied directly from today's multi-megapixel cameras, when you wish to present photos using <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> we encourage you first to set up a photo page at one of the popular photo-sharing sites, such as:</P>
<UL>
<LI><A href="http://www.bubbleshare.com/">BubbleShare</A> (recommended for ad-hoc sharing; you can set up a web-based album and get its link without an involved registration process or any new password to remember)</LI>
<LI><A href="http://www.flickr.com/">Flickr</A></LI>
<LI><A href="http://www.picturetrail.com/">PictureTrail</A></LI>
<LI>See <A href="http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6451_7-6245099-1.html">CNET's comparison</A> of other services</LI></UL>
<P>Once you have the URL (web address) of your photo album, you can establish a direct link from <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM>. Locate the folder in <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> where you want this link to appear, then press the <STRONG>create</STRONG> button in that folder's toolbar. Choose to create a Link, then fill in a title (descriptive name) for your photo album and enter its URL (web address beginning with http:// or https://). Then press <STRONG>OK</STRONG>. </P>
<P>The link to your photo album will now appear as a clickable icon in the Attachments box.</P>
<P>Another option for MBA student photo albums is <A href="http://www.whartonlink.com/">WhartonLink</A>, although its photo albums do not appear until you have logged in.</P></p><h3>Alternate Questions/Keywords</h3><p></p><br><br><br><br><a target='_new' href='http://www.parature.com' style='font-family:Verdana;font-size:10px;color:999999;'>Help Desk and Customer Support Software by Parature</a>]]>
