Can we still link to the "photos" option over on the left column along
with "files", "links", etc if we have a photo clue or is that what
you're referring to?

Yes, as long as we have room in LbNA group, you can put
your photos there. You can use another website to host the
pictures on the internet then use an HTML link in
your clues to display the photo.

For those of you that aren't familiar with HTML, a link in
your clues to a photo looks like this:
src="http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_1114407/__hr_Example+of+Bad+Letterboxing!.jpg?bc4j37CBSE0GmQcw">

I got the stuff in quotes by right clicking on the photo
that I was viewing in Internet Explorer after it was
uploaded and selecting Copy Image Location from the menu.

There's a good primer on puting images on web pages here:

Susan was refering to an option to upload a photo for a
letterbox directly to letterboxing.org. W experimented
with this ability recently but decided to disable it.

This is not a big problem as there are places you can store photos
(such as http://www.ImageShack.us/) and then just insert a link in
the clue.

But I really did like the way it turned out, short-lived as it was.
