Pic Test

Yes, this is weird! I witnessed the mysterious change. I have asked around and will let you know if I find out why.
 
:confused: I uploaded this picture via the insert image icon, from computer, and although it showed full size in the 'preview thread', it showed as thumbnail in the post...same in today's/new posts. Hope I'm not confusing things more. :eek:
 
I just use the copy & paste IMG code from image shack.... comes up full size on the forum.
...am I doing it the wrong way ?

here's a pic of my front yard.

Lovely front yard Terra, looks like heaven! :D I always get a full sized pic also when copying the url from another location, or the BB code from my album here on Senior Forums.

I didn't get any interesting replies, I think I will leave it as it is. To show images in full size, please use albums or "manage attachments". As for the weird change, consider it as fun for now. :)

I don't find it a problem as you can just click on the pic and it enlarges, it would save on bandwidth etc.

No, it's not a problem. But there is a weird change - the image was in full size for a few minutes after the post was created, then it was turned into a thumbnail.

No, it's not wrong. But there is a potential problem: you are using a picture on another website, if that website removes or moves the picture, or blocks other websites (so-called hot linking) to save bandwidth, the image in your post will be missing.

This is a very common problem, old forum threads are full of missing pictures. Therefor, I suggest members uploading pictures to this forum instead of image hosting websites that come and go without notice.
 
Trouble with posting image codes from another site is you have to do double handling all the time...first upload to one site, then get the code, then open this site and paste the code...
I was so happy when I saw this forum had the insert image option but I guess I'll have to go back to Photobucket and do it the long way round.
Also, you can never delete a pic from a hosting site as it will disappear from here as well and every other place you have posted it...

Yes, forgot, can add from there I suppose...

If you only add one picture, you can also use "Manage Attachments", it looks like below.

For multiple images, I think thumbnails are better. 40% visitors of this forum use smart phones or tablets. Mobile data is expensive and slow.
