I was trying to remember how to change the size of a displayed image. I saw the thread in this forum, but it doesn't show the way to change the image size for display, only that it is possible.

What is the format to do so?

Hi Mina,

It is so long since I did anything with resizing that I can't remember!

Perhaps one of the other sysops might remember, especially Neil our graphics expert?

I don't think you can anymore. An older version of the forum's software allowed us to see 3 different generic size options from the gallery view. You clicked the option and you saw three different [img]tags with size.

There was an upgrade to DL's UBB code and that option went away and we got the new shiny version we have today.

I think you have to resize images in an editor program then upload them now.

(Part 2)

Hold on! Hold on!

Behind the scenes- when you upload a picture to the forum- it actually puts that picture into 3 locations and does a 'sizing' for each- Full / Medium / Thumbs- These 3 files, in their respective folders, are tucked away and the forum presents you with the the 'full' option for your viewing and posting needs.

The ability get to these other options is still there- you just have to sneak your way into it- after some experimenting i figured it out

1) go to your gallery
2) select the picture you want to add to your post/message/thread
3) right click on pic and 'open image in new tab'
4) capture the url from the new window
5) go back to your post- choose 'insert image link' button to get the small window that creates your [img] [/img] tag- then paste in the url
6) change 'full'(default) to 'medium' or 'thumbs' (you have to manually type this in)


BTW- not to confuse anyone- i inserted the URL alone so you see it as a hyperlink - that way you can see the difference in the code-
then i also put the url into [img] tags so you can see the result
