Previews are funny, just try posting... They gotta be scaled pretty small

Image attachments have a limit of 1MB . Image attachments don't show up in preview.

[img]Image URL[/img]
is an example of the tag notation for inline images. They don't have a size limit. If they are huge they will take a long time to display. If they are over 300 pixels, they will be scaled down. An image that is scaled down is just visually resized, it's still as large as the original and takes as long to display.

Inline images need to be hosted on a service like TinyPic, Picasa, or your own webspace.

[url=Fullsize Image URL][img]Thumbnail Image URL[/img][/url]
is an example of tag notation for inline images with a thumbnail. The smaller image is displayed in your post, and when the user clicks on it, the fullsize image is displayed in a new browser window.

Your are responsible for creating and hosting both the fullsize and thumbnail images. You can use the same image for both, since the forum software visually scales down the image in your post to 300 pixels. However, if there is a large difference between that and the full-size image, there's some bandwidth waste.

Oh yeah... make sure the "Turn BBCode Off?" checkbox (see attachment) is NOT checked.

ATB,
Sam
