WordPress 2.02 Thumbnail image linking – how to keep comments in sync?

Hi,

I want to be able to have my image attachments show up in thumbnail mode when they’re displayed in a list of multiple posts (archive, home and category pages etc), but when I click on the post itself, to show the full-sized version. I need to be able to categorise images by a number of different categories (with multiple ones for individual images), and I was planning on using the Category options to allow me to do that.

I’m currently using the built-in image upload/attachment function for this, but when I set it to “Using Thumbnail” and “Link to Page” and post the article the thumbnail links to a new page, but the comments posted to that page don’t match up with comments posted to the article itself. The categories also isn’t brought over from the post.

Can anyone tell me if this is normal behaviour, if it can be changed, or if there is a better solution. I want people to be able to comment on the images, and keep it al within the design of the blog itself.

Thanks.
