Default Uploading images - Funny Pics

I note that most have large images we can all enjoy but when I attach an image its a poxy little thumbnail. Which link am I doing wrong? I must have forgotten something?

It's because you have used Subsims own picture server(not the correct word I know) this is why the picture we upload to our account is small and gets bigger when one click on it.

The solution is finding a homepage, where you can upload your picture to and then link it in your answers

Like in Funny picture thread.

It depends on which image hosting site you use, two examples below will use a largish image even though they both have a different way of linking the image.

BBCode full linked for imgBB

Hotlink for forums is for postimg

I dont use third party images software, but I'll have a look at Jimbuna's link. Thanks. I am also suspicious at what third party do with our images.

I believe they only get to store it if you select "share to community" but their terms and conditions will tell you more. I use "Imgur"... very quick and simple:

https://imgur.com/upload

As as computer illiterate myself: 1 rt. klic on photo; 2 scroll down & rt. klik on 'copy image link'; 3 POST: [img] [/img]
4 then insert the 'copy image link' using ctrl & V key simultaneously between the posted [img] ^ [/img]: voila! < if an idiot
like me can do it U can 2 and just 2 compete with "old, crippled, past it" Moonlight a poxy thumbnail bonus! :

Quoting U from yer own profile is hardly a negative remarque... more of a 70 year old's Cheeky Sod's commiseration!
Speaking of muppets, Our moderator-in-chief is ever vigilant; so we gotta be nice!

All I'll say up to this point is we should all be careful and consider some people are more sensitive to comments than others.

The forum rules are crystal clear where insults and name calling is concerned.
