Thumbnail image size

[Bill Strong]

I suggest that the image size be changed to something like 100x100. this will allow the thread to stay uniform in it's view. I just posted 4 images and they are displayed at such a huge size that it just makes the thread look yukky. :)

since you can look at the image in full view when clicked, 100x100 is not that bad.

You can post your pictures smaller too suit your needs.

But there is also a problem when someone links an image remotely. There is no controlling that size. There are times when the image needs to be larger than 100 pixels.

Currently the settings are
bmp 20000 800x600
doc 20000
gif 180000 800x600
jpe 20000 800x600
jpeg 180000 800x600
jpg 200000 800x600
pdf 200000
png 250000 800x600
psd 10000 800x600
txt 20000
zip 100000

ya, I know I could post them smaller. But I am already moving close to a terrabyte worth of data out of my server (www.mr2oc.com)
so I would rather host them here :)
There is away to control the thumbnail size.. I forget where it is..

Thumbnail Size
Enter positive integer number. Thumbnails will be constrained to a height and width no larger than this number.

If you are changing this value and have existing image attachments on your forums, you will need to rebuild your thumbnails to update those existing attachments.

Sorry that I am very tech-ignorant. How to attach a thumbnail image to my posting and then come up with a larger picture when you click the thumbnail. I try using the "insert image" button but then it requires:"Please enter the URL of your image"
A lot of postings are with attached thumbnail pictures and you can click those images to see larger pictures. Can you show me how to do it?

You can attached a photo by 3 methods.

The preferable way is
Upload File from your Computer or Upload File from an URL.

Another way is use the insert image button but that can throw the window size off which you are trying to do. Please enter the URL of your image is looking for the remote location. For instance someone may want to post a picture from another website, like photobucket.
