Use imgur instead, and use the "large thumbnail" version there. :razz:

Or, I believe the maximum width for a picture here is 700 pixels, so try sticking to that. That means it will be displayed as a picture on most people's screens. (Read that in the Map Showcasing Thread.)

![img](http://image_url_here) is the correct BBCode if that's what you're looking for, by the way.

I use Postimage.org... It allows you to resize the image before uploading it and it gives you several codes in the case you need a HTML code, for forums, web, thumbnails and such...

To post it here take only the location of your image as this web always introduce its own link (to get promoted/visited).

Check:

I just use paint to re-size the images to 700px width max.
Then I save them in my public dropbox folder and I copy the link here in the [img]tags

I use imageshack. I dont resize the image and i use the direct link to imageshack. Not resizing the image lets people get a clearer view of the picture :thumbup: .

I upload mine to mah deviantart stash. Who knows what the image hosting terms of use and legal mumbo jumbo are (unless you read it).

Well that's quite peculiar. What brand/type? American? Cheddar? Mozzarella? Man I could talk about cheese all day...

Don't get me started. Are you also interested in relishes? I find them just as fascinating.
