How can a pic from a post be too big to post?!?!?!

[IanEvans]

Okay, I tried to post an announcement of this months Category B Photo Challenge winners, complete with pics copied directly from the voting thread...and it's telling me they're too big?

Um, what?

hi NMN,

I had the same trouble when I set up the winners thread for the contest I won,
it seems when you upload a picture it resizes it for you but when you try to link to it it links to the full size image

so you have to right click & save as, then upload it as a new attachment from your hard drive

Actually I thought it might be the ominous missing &t=1, but I tried, too, and see it is not ...
the [iborder] tag seems to do the trick, however.

There is a simplers solution. If you get a notice saying the image is too big change the [img] tags to either [iborder] or [imgthm]. The first will automatically resize the photo to an acceptable size for thescreen and the other will display it as a clickable thumbnail.
