_________________________________________________

EXAMPLE: EZCODE

When you insert an image using the ezCodes, the code looks like this:

[img noborder]http://www.image.com/image.jpg[/img]


To size the image, do this:

[img noborder width=100 height=100]http://www.image.com/image.jpg[/img]

_________________________________________________

EXAMPLE: HTML

If you use HTML tags, the image html looks like this:

<img border=0 src="http://www.image.com/image.jpg" />

To resize the image, do this:

<img width="100" height="100" border=0 src="http://www.image.com/image.jpg" />

_________________________________________________

The value of "100" given to the height and width is just an example, and obviously the height and width of an image should be proportional to the size of the regular image, or else it'd end up looking distorted.

Images shouldn't be any wider than 400 pixels on the board. That way, the image won't push the page out sideways, forcing people to scroll horizontally to read any posts on the page... If the image is on someone's website and you don't know the dimensions it would look good at, save it to your hard drive, open it up in a graphics editor, resize it, and remember the height and width of the new, smaller image. Use those in the IMG tags as above.

Also, if the image being linked to is one's own in one's own webspace, it's best to resize the image itself. Calling on a large image while using tags will make the image look smaller -- but it still loads the entire actual image, and the bigger the actual image, the longer the page load time.
