Resizing Images
Posted: Tue May 28, 2013 9:59 am
I've noticed a number of posts lately where I can't get a feel for the pipe in question because it's a stupid big image. It's really easy to resize your images; here's how:
1. Open your new thread, and add your comments.
2. Instead of using the "Img" button to refer to your image URL, use the "rimg" button (the second to last button available)
3. If you hover over that button it provides you with a brief explanation, but here it is for reference: "[rimg width=X height=X] URL [/rimg]" Typically 640 X 480 is sufficient, but you can go a bit larger if you need - just be sure to keep the ratio the same.
Special thanks to my water aerobics class for being models for the below examples (that's me second from the left):
320 X 240

640 X 480

960 X 720

If I mess up the aspect ratio, it will look off like 640 X 960
