You can still link images from web sites by using the "image" icon to the right side of the message task bar when you are posting your message.




And while you can choose to select a smaller size for the image when you link it, it seems that the fixed width of the forum display will not allow the full sized image to be shown properly. That is something I would like to see changed if possible.

Something else to be wary of if allowing images to be uploaded directly to the forums is that other sites have had virus attacks from allowing this feature as, apparently, it is possible to embed a virus or other nasty within an image and upload it to attack the site.

As always though David, thanks for your ongoing efforts.

Cheers,
Motty.
Edit: It seems the board has now been set to automatically resize any linked image to display fully within the forum boundaries (my image above is actually twice that size). There is the ability to see the full sized image if you put your pointer over the image, right click and select "view image" but this is not obvious and it also takes you away from the post to do it.

Is there a way to allow the forum width to be dependent on the viewer's monitor rather than a fixed size for everyone? Maybe there's a setting like "x% of window" rather than "x pixels"?
