About referencing images, must be missing something.  The program can call a browser to interptet the string,  

"Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!!  You need to Login or Register!!
"

in the item file

but not

"Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!!  You need to Login or Register!!
"

in the same way without using image magic?

 As for losing the listing screen on the return from preview, it's only the first time and it's the description as well as the photos.  

It only happens on the first return, though.  After it's entered a second time, going to preview and back doesn't lose it.  I told people on 151 to type junk into the field, preview, then return before filling in the form for real.  Not the best of ideas but ebay used to have the same problem.  

In fact, ebay had (and still does have) so many problems that most don't use the on-line input but use a listing program that lets them fill their fields with a data file and then upload them as a batch.  

When I list, I put all my data into a template.txt file and give it the same name as the base name of the photos.  So doll11.jpg, doll12.jpg ...doll16.jpg would have a file doll1.txt  Then it's just a matter of copy and paste.  Most people won't do this, though.  If there isn't a menu, they're lost.  So I can write something for them to generate the file on their own system, but getting the data from their system to my web space is the problem.  That and assigning the unique item number.  
Maybe next year. :)


   Thanks and I'm going to go try your answer, now with the images.

You can do it this way:

search sub disp_list for:
         
           $image
               ? ($img_info = qq|<img src="$config{'icon_url'}/$config{'if_image'}" border="0">|)
               : ($img_info = qq|<img src="$config{'icon_url'}/$config{'no_image'}" border="0">|);

and replace the lines with the following code:

         my @image = ();
           $image
               ?   do {
                 @image = split / /, $image;
                 $image !~ /http\:/
                     ?      ($img_info = qq|<img src="$config{'img_url'}/$image"@{[img_size($image[0], 50)]}>|)
                     :      ($img_info = qq|<img src="$image[0]" width=50 border=0>|);
                 
               }
               :   ($img_info = qq|<img src="$config{'icon_url'}/$config{'no_image'}" border="0">|);
