Regarding the AVS stuff, by right clicking the desired images and selecting "Properties" we can see the respective static full path. For the first link in Simon's post these are:
http://gallery.avsforum.com/data/503/P1150001.JPG
for the biggest image and
http://gallery.avsforum.com/data/503/thumbs/P1150001.JPG
for the icon

also the displayed page url would be:
http://gallery.avsforum.com/showphoto.php/photo/18832

The above data make the following presentations possible:

1. [#img]http://gallery.avsforum.com/data/503/P1150001.JPG[#/img]
which rewritten without #'s show as:
[Linked Image from gallery.avsforum.com]

Now this is big and with more pics it will get slower to load as it grows. So it's perhaps better to use icon links like in:

2.[#url=http://gallery.avsforum.com/data/503/P1150001.JPG][#img]http://gallery.avsforum.com/data/503/thumbs/P1150001.JPG[#/img][#/url]
which rewritten without the #'s shows:
[Linked Image from gallery.avsforum.com]

Or you can link directly to the AVS page using the icon link as in:

3.
[#url=http://gallery.avsforum.com/showphoto.php/photo/18832][#img]http://gallery.avsforum.com/data/503/thumbs/P1150001.JPG[#/img][#/url]

removing all the above #'s that'll look like this and link to the desired page:
[Linked Image from gallery.avsforum.com]

which is perhaps the best way to do it.

All those knowledgeable about these matters will probaly excuse me for taking up some space, I do hope this will help and encourage most to show here their rigs smile .
