Post your screen-shot, make it thumnailed! Options

[2E7AH]

I don't know if it's just me or am I lately noticing too often posts with screen-shots that exceeds some common sense image dimensions that should be posted (I guess mostly foobar forum)
First it's ugly, then it's rude and ignorant posting 1600 px image in forum or just anything above at least 800 px should be thumbnailed before posting

I'm using right now 19'' CRT monitor with 1280x960, I have also flat 22'' set on 1680 and occasionally using laptop on 1024x876. While I can only guess what others are using I searched quickly and here is some result based on using browsers
And it's not just that, but even today some users are browsing with dial-up modems or limited bandwidth for whatever reasons. I couldn't find statistics with quick search

Please do something about this?

I write most of my posts offline with the help of HA's BB code page, however I fail to find the correct pattern to insert an imageshack.us thumbnail image as a clickable picture - I must do something wrong.

Could someone please provide the complete BB code, if the URLs would be

• for the thumbnail picture
• for the full size picture?

Many thanks in advance.

In your case:

Which looks like:


Imageshack also offers the premade code directly on its page ready for quick copy'n'paste.

Thank you very much, ojdo!

Considering how often pictures from imageshack.us are used: to add this pattern to HA's BB code page could encourage and remind more members to use thumbnailed images?
