Posting Pictures

[The Forerunner]

I used to write game reviews and I don't remember much from embedding pictures. There was a way to shrink the pictures you posted and then the person could click and it would enlarge the picture all the way.

How do I do that something with [IMG] at the beginning then the link and then resize or something like that.

ANy help is appreciated.

Is this like what you want?

[img="650"]insert image link here[/image]

[The Forerunner]

Yes but i remember u could enter the image as a percent of the full size? Is that the 650?

I'm not sure about the percentage, but yes, the 650 (or what ever number you put in there) resizes the image, a lot like the percentage, I suppose.

Alright thank you for your help!!

Some image hosts, such as Image Shack, will give you the option to post a thumbnail which people can then click to enlarge to the full picture.

I believe the 650 in the [IMG="650"] is the number of horizontal pixels the resized picture is scaled to. The vertical number of pixels scales automatically with respect to the aspect ratio of the original image.

On the topic of pictures, I think the Image forum is still down. At least for me.
