Cliff made [img thumb] years ago but never put this on the PFF Code Help page.
Note: Posted pictures from other places should edit out any links, meaning url=____ & /url tags wrap around the img tags.
Part because they can "break" the img thumb behavior.
Part because Picture links, "legal" or not for Cliff's rules, can cause problems to many readers. Example: Can interfere w/ screen readers for the disable etc. Photobucket is well known for is issue. Many people think Picture links are a security problem too.
