Dang, I thought that the forum just thumbnailed them for me. I 'fixed' it for now, but I'm having trouble getting Google (Picassa web albums) to allow me to link to the full res 5M pixel images

800px is the biggest I can get it to do.
Alright, fixed it. FYI, To get a full res image link (for embedding) with Picassa Web Albums, the secret is in the RSS Feed of the album. Click RSS Feed, then add: &imgdl=1 at the end of the url for the list of images. Then load that page again and the download links will be the full res links to the pic. (Right click, copy link location, then embed).
Are full res pics in a forum post obnoxious?
