Title: Photos posted very large
Post by: Londongirl on March 20, 2017, 02:24:58 PM: I'm finding that photos embedded into posts are coming out very large indeed, so that I have to scroll around the photo to see it all. This is happening on both my iPad and laptop. Anyone else noticed this? Is it down to one hosting site in particular?

I noticed it today here, for example: http://www.cockersonline.co.uk/discuss/index.php?topic=118442.msg1701997#new

Same here. I had a quick look at them yesterday morning and then hoped somebody would come along who knew what they were doing :D

Post by: Londongirl on March 21, 2017, 03:37:09 PM: I've always used Photobucket, which seems to automatically post the pictures at a sensible size. I think the trick is to use the link tagged 'IMG' for forums.

Here's a direct paste of that sort of link, and an excuse to show off Henry's Christmas bow tie! It comes out as the right size automatically.

Post by: Archie bean on March 21, 2017, 04:48:40 PM: Useful tip is to alway click on "preview" before you post. It lets you see what your post will look like so if you need to re-size photos it should be apparent! ;)
