He can anyone give a bit of insight in to this one? I would like my images to show up at a decent size in my posts, instead of having to click to zoom... Thanks

How I did mine is:

If it is a horizontal image, I resize it to 25% and then crop it to 700 x 525 pix.

If it is a vertical image, I resize it to 17% then crop it to 394 x 525 pix.

Then post it with medium size.

 

My image size may be different from yours, so you have to adjust it accordingly. However, the pixel size is fixed. I find that it give me the best results.

Hi Ra3MaN

 

I did send you a reply in pm, I use the MY MEDIA button next to the smiley face button, then I use gallery images and they come up the same size as the uploaded picture.

 

P.s I forgot to say your pictures have to be uploaded here for that to work, and don`t worry there is over 4 gigabytes per user

 

Regards, AntGuySA
