AS MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL CONTENT OF THIS THREAD SEEMS TO HAVE DISAPPEARED DURING THE FORUM UPGRADE, MOST OF IT IS NO LONGER VALID SO THE THREAD IS NOW RENAMED AND LOCKED
We do not generally like to see images more than 700 pixels wide posted in the forum, as they can mess up the formatting of all other posts on the same page. However, you can get the forum software to resize your images to 700 pixels wide or less, so they will fit neatly on the page (although 800 pixels sometimes displays OK - you need to check for that size). Here's how to do it:
When composing your message before posting it, click the "Insert Image" icon as usual and you will initially see the following UBBC code appear:
![]()
[/img] [/color]
You then insert a link to the actual image, between the two sets of square brackets. Alternatively, you can paste the link before clicking the "Insert Image" Icon, highlight the link then click the "Insert Image" icon. For an image of my old Avatar, your code then looks like this:
which should produce a picture like this:
but if you want to change the size you have to make the code look like this:
(There is a space before and after "width=75" but no other spaces in the code).
And you should end up with a smaller image like this:
You need to calculate the dimensions of the resized image from the original, to ensure it stays in proportion. Doubling or halving the size is, obviously, easy - if you know the dimensions (in pixels) of the original.
If you want people to be able to read text in an image which has become too small because of resizing, the easiest thing is to post the actual link (not as an image) to the full size photo or scan, in addition to the resized image.
