I posted my photos in this thread using an external site. I prefer it for scenic and food photos, but I use both.
I was about to PM you the instructions (which I've been asked for more than once), but your username does not allow PMs.

(FT is notoriously bad at handling pics - the thumbnail option is only a few months old, and as you might notice with externally hosted pics, they often are so large that they screw up the overall thread width.)

Click on the thumbnail. Or, as others have mentioned, host your pics on an external site and then link to them.

I've been using postimage.org for over a year. I like the fact that you can choose the size of photo. And I like it better than many of the other hosting sites with ads all over the place. I also check the size before I post to FT to make sure it fits.
I use the 640x480 for photos and then Do not Resize for smaller screen shots like this one

LGA-STL, from the tarmac pre-flight
PBI-CLT, just after takeoff before a leftward turn up the coast
SEA-DFW, looking down on Mt. Rainier shortly after takeoff
STL-SEA (AA codeshare on AS), heading west over the Missouri river
JFK-SFO, descending into the Bay Area
STL-ORD, landing in Chicago near sunset

Glad you enjoyed them! I don't have many pics that literally look over the wing, but the blame for that goes to AA for giving me too many upgrades!
This was a neat thread idea. A few years ago, I began grabbing as many pics of my travels as I could, usually just with my iPhone camera... certainly nothing fancy or even remotely close to professional quality.
I think sometimes frequent flyers fail to appreciate just how privileged we are to have the means to travel so frequently/extensively, and it's nice to be able to reflect and relive those moments (and share in others' travel experiences) every now and then.
