I think it's because of the format it is in. Is there any way around this? The end of url for the jpg looks like this: .jpg?zm=400,400,1,0,0. If I copy and paste it into a IE window it is easily viewable at the size I want. If i try to post it here, it comes up as a link. If I take away everything after the .jpg, it will post the image but it will be WAY too big. Is there any way i can manually size an image on these boards? Maybe I'm just a newb, but I'm not really sure. heh. thanks. :)

can't you save it to your machine, resize it and then upload it to photobucket/imageshack/whatever else?

yes I could. But I'm gonna post like 8 pics and wanted to avoid a long drawn out process. :)

I'll post these no matter what, because, well...it's comedy gold... but still.
 
Try this:

img src="URL of your image" width=400 height=400

Put brackets on it, and obviously adjust the width/height values as necessary.

well you wouldnt need the "?zm=400,400,1,0,0" anymore obviously, since you have the height and width in there already. but we won't know if it works until you try posting the real image now will we :)

I tried it the other way too and it didn't work. Bah. Also, Matlock- Thats what I'm trying to avoid. If I post the image like that it will be WAAY too big...

anyway fuck it. I'll just post the image link. Maybe one of you can figure it out so I can make my "halloween animal torture" thread. :lol
