How to Resize Images in Post Editor

[Etienne1973]

I don't find out myself how to resize images I'd like to post. How that's being done here at KVR Audio forums?

Thanks in advance.

You don't. Pictures need to be within a certain size limit (1mb?) prior to uploading. Images smaller than a certain width remain their original size, larger will be shrunk to the full available column width.

PhpBB is forum software, not a graphics editor. I remember not that long ago pictures could not be uploaded but needed to be hosted elsewhere.

If you can't be arsed resizing using a photo editor, a quick (windows) hack is to resize the window of whatever your image is displayed in, then use the snipping tool to err, snip it.

I don't want to upload. Just want to tell PhpBB to display an image hosted elsewhere smaller.

Example: If I try ...

Code: Select all

[img width=X height=Y]image url[/img]

... then that doesn't work.

Try this: https://www.bbcode.org/posting-images-with-bbcode.php

Edit: Nope, doesn't work, I just tried.

I don't know which BBCode works here and which doesn't.
