Geez, Ferret. I think it's pretty straightforward.
[li]Get yourself an IMGUR account.[/li] [li]Upload a photo or two.[/li] [li]When you have done step 2, right-click on the image and from the menu select "Open image in new tab" when it opens, select and copy the URL.[/li] [li]Use that URL in the forum.
OR[/li] [li]Right click on the image you uploaded in step 2 and select "copy image address".[/li] [li]Use that URL in the forum.
OR[/li] [li]Look up in the top right hand corner above the image you uploaded in step 2. There should be a little down arrow. Click on it and select "get share links".[/li] [li]One of the options in Share Links is "BB Code (Forums)". Copy that and paste it into your post on the forum.
[/li]
The third option seems the best to me as you won't have either to go to the 'New reply' section of the forum and use the 'insert image' button or remember to insert the IMG tags around the URL you pasted in.
Does that help a little?
Frulk, Guth will have to answer the question about resizing images. On the second question, you're right that, if we all uploaded images directly to the forum, it would gobble up storage which Guth is currently paying for. I'm not sure he wants that.
As I've mentioned before, there also seems no way for the forum software to control the dimensions of uploaded images meaning you often get those enormous images that shrink the text on that page to the point of unreadability.
