Okay, time to display some (more) ignorance. When I insert an image into a forum post I click the 'insert image' button in the editor, and enter a full URL to the image in the 'image info' tab. The image itself is held on my web host. All that works fine... except that the image appears full size in the post, which can throw the page formatting off.

Almost everyone else seems to have a smaller sized image in their posts, which when clicked shows the full size image. The URL for that link is a renderosity URL rather than an offsite one, and always looks something like "http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/media/folder_9/some_file.jpg". I want to use this same resized image arrangement. How is it done? I've searched on this site and can't find it anywhere. I'm clearly missing something obvious.

Help would be gratefully received.

Attach a file :)

Click on Browse and load image from your HDD, no need for hosting it online :)

If you know HTML, you can click the "Source" button in the upper left hand corner of the reply window. It shows you the HTML source of your message. You can insert the link manually using this format:

Where you specify the width and height you want it to display as. If you want them to be able to see the full size image, wrap a link anchor around the image tag.

Aaargh! You mean that for years I've been unnecessarily uploading files to a web host and I didn't need to!  Now I feel a complete dunce :-)

Many thanks for pointing out what should have been obvious :biggrin:

Yes, thanks - that's a useful technique if the image has to be inline, the attached file technique always seems to put the image right at the start of the post.

Lolol, you have just overlooked the option :)
