First a peeve of mine: spaces in file names. Leave spaces out. If you
really feel the need, use an underscore. When used in filenames on the
web, a space turns into %20 which lengthens it even more. I favor just
using a capital(sp?) letter for the first letter of each word and not
using underscores, makes the file names shorter.

To get the file link sent to the list, easiest is to use the checkbox
"send notice to the list".

As listowner I get notifications of uploads with nice short URLs, the
same that would get sent to the list if you use that checkbox. Spaces
can still make it a bit unmanageable:

Please note that I've taken the spaces out of the filename so this
link won't work now:
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/files/Toner_Transfer/HP%202100%20-%20Chef%20Select.JPG>

Putting <> on either side helps keep it together, or at least even
though it breaks it will work from the group site.

BTW, I can tell you are scanning at way past your scanners optical
resolution, my guess is about 3 or 4 times the optical resolution. It
is a waste of time and filespace to scan at anything above the optical
resolution, above that your scanner software is just resampling.

The other way is to just provide a link to the folder. Yahoogroups
-will- give you a simple URL to just the folder.
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/files/Toner_Transfer/>

These links will work with the filenames as I've taken the spaces out.

<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Homebrew_PCBs/files/Toner_Transfer/Konica1350W-ChefSelect.JPG>

To create those links I just used the URL to that file folder, then
put the image name on the end.
