immage size in post.

How come when some people post pictures they are full size, but when I post pictures they come as thumbnails and if you take the time to click the thumbnail it only gets a little bigger?
What am I doing wrong?

When I make a post and want to insert a picture I click on the yellow symbol with mountain in it (if you run your mouse over it and it will say insert image). A new window opens asking to allow pop ups and I then click on the symbol again, past in the properties of the picture I wish to post and it is then added to my post. Hope that helps.

How do you post the thumb nails ??? I do not know how to do that ?

I use an image hosting site (Photobucket) and insert the direct image code into my message. I like full size images better than thumbnails, saves a step when viewing posts.
Good luck, Dave

uploading to photobucket is a pain for me (my DSL is slow) also, it has not happened to me, but I hate looking at an old post and seeing the photos gone.

I use the paperclip above and to the left of the mountain icon.

OK

Plenty of other web sites will host photos for you.

I have the same problem, only thumbnails appears.

Tried with the abovementioned mountain. All I got was an dialog box asking from what url I wanted to upload. I want to upload from my own hard disk. More input, someone? Is a browser related issue? I run firefox.

The only reason the photo is gone is when the user moves it or deletes it.
So it is purely a user problem.
So many I see blame Photobucket unjustly.

Gah

I tried with a smaller photo, well into the limits. Still the same, shown as a thumbnail. WTF!

If you upload to this site (using that yellow box with the mountain in it), your pics will ALWAYS come out as thumbnails in your post. I try to reduce the size of my pics from the camera size to something smaller. A JPG uploaded to this site is limited to 145.5K and for me that is something over 1200x900 with medium compression.

You can play with resizing using one of several different tools on your computer, and use WINDOWS Explorer to look at the file directory and see the sizes you are getting. Then, when someone clicks on that thumbnail, and the pic comes up FULL SIZE it will be as large as possible, as it should be displaying at the full size you uploaded it at after clicking on the thumbnail.

There are suggestions on resizing pics in two threads found in the "Sticky for Stickies", found HERE.

I frequently re-use pics I have previously uploaded. In that case, they will not be thumbnails, but rather, full size pics, loaded from the GJ server. If you go to "USER CP" in the menu bar at the top of any page, you will find an item at the very bottom left of that screen, "Attachments" and if you look you will find EVERY pic you have ever uploaded (unless you deleted it) and the thread and the post it is in.

When I want to re-use a pic, I simply find it in that list of pics (15 pages of them for me) and right click on the pic link and "copy link location" and then go back to my post in progress and click on that mountain on the yellow picture icon and then right click, paste the link in and click OK to finish it out. The image then appears in the post full size as if it were loaded from an external source, photobucket, etc.

I have two tabs open, both with GJ showing, to do this, one the User CP/attachments screen and one the post I am composing.
