Is there only one size (very small) for images? When uploading an image you are presented with a bunch of options for resizing none of which seem to work ..... or ...... what am I doing wrong?

_I used the "Add image to post" It provides several options for resizing all of which seem to have no effect here's one I imported via photobucket which is the result I would want from importing from my drive.

Also found an issue with that, I think the reasoning in the software is it reduces server space. If you click the thumbnail, full size is seen on a 3rd party site.

moreeResizing is done by postimg.org. When you have selected and posted your img it will set itself No Bigger than 320x240 within the forum. It will however, when image is clicked on open up a new tab/window displaying the image in its full size (depending which size you pick). Hope this clears things up. Edit : You beat me to it Mike

What I'd like it to be able to PASTE in an 'image'. Let me explain...
I can use W7 and 8's Snipping tool and other screen capture programs to capture part of my screen (or all of it). With some, such as the Snipping Tool I can do some rudimentary drawing as well on the capture. These programs also put the capture into my Clipboard. However, TEXT such as data copied to the clipboard can be pasted in here easily, but screen captures that are in my Clipboard can not be. They must be uploaded after they are filed on my system.
In Thunderbird for instance I CAN paste these right in. Wondering if this could be done here?

Black Text on a DARK BLUE background it HARD to read... Light Blue would be better or Yellow Text, but there are color blind people that also could have problems.

Drag & drop won't work or copy / ctrl + V Best I can get is via the full reply option, add attachment. It still loads as a thumbnail, and expands via the proboard software. Will have a look to see if there any plugins to get over this.

Thanks Irv and GS, I suspected as much but it's too bad though. The image upload feature is incredibly convenient - you can upload multiple images at a time (something I've not seen on any other forums). I think, though, that if you are uploading complex images it becomes a pain to the reader to have to click on them to view the details. No matter - I can live with this.
Also, I second irv's comment about black text on blue background. Very hard to read.

Also (and I don't actually think this is site related), does anyone else have trouble viewing embedded vids ? I keep getting a black screen and Flash player/container shows in Task Manager. Using PaleMoon 20.0.1 Also the same thing in Opera and Firefox. But not in Avant
I'm using IE10 on windows 8 and have the same issue but assumed it was a W8 problem (after all, everybody blames everything on W8) so didn't mention it. I did find that if you go to full screen on the video it played perfectly. Can you give that a try?

Fixed it it seems by granting ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES specific permission in my TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES. If it is everywhere, sorry, don't think that will fix it.

Tried that before moree but it didn't work, it's not a big issue for me as I can use developer view to extract the code and watch it on youtube or such like

irvspDo you like W8? Reading all the blowback on forums it seems I'm a minority of 1 that does like it I do, but then again I don't have much choice . I was unsure at first so I sacrificed my wife first. She had just gotten a new computer with W7 on it after years of using XP. All she did was gripe and complain she didn't like it or how it worked. She did have a fast computer, this was about a year ago I did this. It took me a few months to load her up with a fast SSD, get everything working fine, and then get her old data off of the XP system and as many programs she had as I could on the new machine. Since she wasn't too happy I decided to install W8 last Oct. or Nov. We hit some significant bumps. Norton Ghost, no-go, and worse, almost ALL the Gamehouse games wouldn't run as well. She WAS not a happy camper, but she was complaining about things that were not running, not using W8. The few times she let me 'play' with it, when you were on the desktop, except for the missing Start Orb (and there were/are replacements to handle that) and basically learning where to find some things (like the FULL NETWORK MAP) it felt like W7? I gave her a little more than a month to feel it out and when I had a chance play with it. Her machine was clearly faster than it was under W7. It had some annoyances, but nothing insurmountable. One biggie, she too lost the use of some Live Tiles. Since little was invested when this happened, I rolled it back a week (Norton Ghost 'sort of worked') and watched what I did to cause the problem. Never figured that out though. Complaints stopped coming and she asked me for help finding stuff, so I 'bit'. I generally use only the desktop and can work with the occasional program that just will not run. I don't understand what all the fuss is about to be honest? Apps like Start MenuX gives me a Start Orb, and the Start Screen Live Tiles gives me what I used to use my iPad for, news, weather, and sports which I'll use infrequently. I still use the iPad when I want to 'relax' for a longer period of time. I did find that FULL NETWORK MAP at one point. On W7 it was on the top right of the Network and Sharing Center, but forgot where it is now?
