When you use the "thumb" command for images, the word "thumb" in brackets - actually kicks off a program sub-routine. When your message is "posted", the "thumb" command is lost, and it's replaced with an internal HTML command set (alt img, href, etc...)..

What makes it confusing is that a person can't enter HTML directly into a post (for security reasons) - but the hack file I wrote does exactly that on the server side... So - for example - if you go to Ron's post - and select the "edit" button for that post, there is no longer a "thumb" command.

That make sense??? Anyway - I'm playing with the import code today - so I may have a "work around" - if I don't break another sub-routine..

Best to you!
