How to make pictures look bigger in posts?

Postby Paintsalot » Sun Jan 14, 2024 5:19 pm

Hi All,
I’m hoping to start a build sequence soon.
Does anyone know how to make my photos that I post look a little bit bigger?
They look a little small on the screen compared to some other posts I’ve seen
I’ve tried to follow the instructions that I see in the sticky posts above.
Thanks,
Matthew

Here’s a sample pic from my gallery

That’s the side view of a model I built, with a scale figure sketched on it.

That looks good to me. The problems are the ones that are raw and huge, and I have to scroll around to see whole picture. Some bb software resizes uploads. I got a free resizer app and make uploads 1024 x 768.

So thanks for your images which make viewing easy.

If you click on it, it gets big. I upload to Imgur and have it resize for "message boards."

Thanks guys. Maybe I can just stick with what I was doing.
We’ve got snow in Memphis. Dropping to 7 degrees Fahrenheit Wednesday.

Tony - it didn't get any bigger when I clicked on it. But I really appreciate you resizing images for posting. Much easier to read.

I'm using Chrome on a MacBook. If I move the cursor to his photo and tap with one finger on the trackpad, it gets bigger. I just tried it with my mouse, and the left click does the same.

Just on my android phone. Still no change. Looks fine though.
