Re: Test to see if I can add a full size photo
I know that Lewis but as said as it is on site you cannot set it to show Large !
I will edit it now and see the difference! Most all Pics that are posted will enlarge if Double Clicked!

You can ,before Posting use Preview Post to see how they will appear sizewise in your post-I always do that just to make sure they are not too large or small
I am not sure as to what you are doing, but as far as i know there is no Image Screen that Pops up? As well as Preview Screen? Perhaps you have different settings but for me ,well i use the Admin allowance to do the Resizing! If you make a Pic too large it will not upload anyway, as the site has size Limits!
So i dont think that your details will work for many here? But i stand corrected.
The only way for anyone else to do their own resize is the use the Tags before and after the IMG. in the Edit Box, and this must be done fast as the Edit option goes away after a short time. Cheers
Reply:-Vernon---to get the Image Settings Screen pop up you have to be in the Go Advanced Tab,not the Post Quick Reply tab..
(In fact whenever I write ANY post,with or without an image I always use the Go Advanced tab anyway-never a Post Quick Reply.)
I use this inbuilt system here on site regularly to enlarge an image thumbnail in my postings! It saves having to fart about with image converters.Try it again!
Cheers !

Re: Test to see if I can add a full size photo
Hi Graham I have used 'go advanced ' but when I attach/insert a pic I do not actually see the thumbnail until I have posted all I see is this, once I hit submit reply I then see the thumbnail.

Re: Test to see if I can add a full size photo
Yes GS That is the way to do it, and that is what i do, however i dont have to go to advanced Tab, it works for me in the Normal mode! Possibly as i am a Moderator!
But for others yes that should work for al.
I did try the Advanced Tab just to see and yes its correct as you say!
Cheers
You can do that Graham as i now see why, it is because you have your Settings on Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing

Now we are all on the same page, or at least the same setting. This is the large setting after double clicking. Photo the QE2 1975 taken from the Denholm's Euroliner

Re: Test to see if I can add a full size photo
Great pictures, first saw it in 1946. Do any ex UCL remember Snowball. Once gave him some money to buy some bottles,sailed before he got back. Went on Shore Staff for 6 months at least. Arrived in Cape Town on different ship and there was Snowball with the bottles and change.
