Question [Resolved] Thumbnails - how to make them working?

Hello to everyone!

I'm very happy of Kunena 1.6.4, nevertheless I have a configuration question.
I cannot figure out how to show thumbnails in place of the entire image in users posts. I mean, when I (or users) upload an image and insert it in the post (using the "insert" button) the image is displayed using the real size. If a user clicks on the image the "lightbox" starts regularly with no problem (but it shows, again, the same image with the same size).

I would to show only thumbnails in place of entire image to save space in the post. On the other hand, I would show the entire image only when a user clicks on it (using the lightbox function).

Is there any way to achieve this? I've read somewhere that this could be a template problem, but I don't think so.

Currently, my settings are:

Maximum Image Width = 640
Maximum Image Height = 480
Thumbnail Width = 32
Thumbnail Height = 32

I would display a thumbnail image (say 100x100 pixels) in the post, and a max 640x480 pixel in the lightbox. What I must to do?

I have attached an image to this message. See the thumbnail below. Is this not good enough?

Ah!
Ok!
So the thumbnails are used only for attached image, not for the ones inserted into the post using the "insert" button, right?

mmmh... if what above is true, for what is the lightbox? I mean... when somebody click on an image a white pop-up box (containing the image) is displayed, but the size of the image is the same. Note: I'm talking about images inserted in the post surroounded by text.
In this case, the lightbox is pretty useless... or not?

See attached image and why a lightbox effect is useful:


Does this answer your questions? Are thumbnails working well enough for your needs?

WOW Sozzled!
In the post the image is resized, but when I click on it, the light nox shows the same image at greater size. This is what I want!
How you do that? Pleaseeeeee, tell me...

I mean... may I show on the post max 640x480 but allows user to upload images say.... 800x600 (in the lightbox, of course)

Whiche settings I must use?

These are the settings used here:

• Forum Configuration
  • Images
    • Maximum Image Width = 1024 px
    • Maximum Image Height = 1024 px
    • Thumbnail Width = 32 px
    • Thumbnail Height = 32 px
    • Image Quality for JPG Resizing = 50 %

Does this answer your question now?
