We have the board set to resize images to be no more than 500 pixels wide but if you would like to resize them yourself here are some tips.

Image resizing using the WYSIWYG editor:

After you've inserted your image using the directions from above there are 2 ways to resize your image.

1. Click on your image and you'll then see a little square on each corner of the picture. Click and hold on one of the squares and drag the picture to the size you want. This method is easy to do but it's hard to get your picture to not be distorted or to know if you've made it small enough so method 2 is better.

2. Click on the HTML Button on the tool bar (last one on the right next to Spellcheck). You should then see a line of text that looks similar to this:

<IMG height=640 src="http://members.aol.com/johndoe/images/lmxena.jpg" width=790>

Delete the height=640 (or whatever your's shows) and then change the width number to 500 so you text now looks like this:

<IMG src="http://members.aol.com/johndoe/images/lmxena.jpg" width=500>

Click the HTML button again and you'll now see your picture resized.

Image resizing using the BBCode editor:

There is only one way to resize your image using the BBCode editor and that's by changing your code. After you've inserted your image you'll see something similar to this (without the **):

The old EZboard code width=500 will not work here, you have to include both the width and height so your code would look like this:

[**img=500x300]http://members.aol.com/johndoe/images/lmxena.jpg[/img]

Of course figuring out what the correct height is can be tough so the easier thing to do is to use the same code from the WYSIWYG.

You can also use this code format in the Quick Reply box.
