Thanks PoN For A Great Tutorial!
Picture is too big to fit in forum?
most people had those problems before. As we know, the average person gets lazier and lazier by minute. To resize a picture, some people have to do allot of downloading and uploading work. Till now
The Power of Nothing shows you the easy way to resize your pictures fast and easy.
So get started. we all know how to put a image on a forum. Lets use this one as example

[img]http://iambillal.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/cup-of-lol.gif[/img]
I want to have this picture smaller than its actual size because it is now too big in my opinion.
For people who studied HTML, you probably have seen codes like this before:
<img src="http://www.quackit.com/pix/milford_sound/milford_sound_t.jpg" width="225" height="151" alt="Milford Sound in New Zealand" />
if you want to add a picture to your website with HTML, you have to define the width and height of the picture. by changing these numbers, you can resize the picture. So what if we put this into the forum?
Let's see

[img width=100 height=100]http://iambillal.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/cup-of-lol.gif[/img]
as you can see, I filled both width and hight between the [img and ]http://. This gives a signal that the picture has to be 100x100 pixels.
we can also try it with 80 by 80 pixels

(http://[img%20width=80%20height=80]http://iambillal.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/cup-of-lol.gif)
1000x1000

[img width=1000 height=1000]http://iambillal.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/cup-of-lol.gif[/img]
600x100

[img width=600 height=100]http://iambillal.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/cup-of-lol.gif[/img]
So no headbanging about pictures that are too big. this will work for sure aslong as you use it the right way. tell me what you think.
Have a nice day
Note: if you still dont get it.
if you want to add a picture to a forum you have to do this:
[img]link to image[/img]
[img][/img] tags tell the forum that there has to be a picture displayed between the tags.
[img] is the opening tag, [/img] is the closing tag .
by adding width= and height= between the [img and ] part, you can resize the picture.
for example, you want to have the picture 100 by 100 pixels.
so we add width=100 and height=100 to the [img] tag.
Then we get this:
[img width=100 height=100]link to image[/img]
