FYI: HowTo Post Full Images

[Fifth]

There's few HowTo's describing how to post clickable thumbnails on the forum, but i couldn't find any guides for posting full-sized images.
I think thumbnails are so 80's.
Besides, i'm notoriously lazy. I wanna see the actual image right away, without thousand clicks.

Post Full-size Images On The Forum Mega* Style!
Guide for Dummies in 4 easy steps

NB! I will assume the picture is already uploaded to PCF Gallery.
(Can't use pictures posted outside forum anyway).​

1) While replying, click "Link Images" on the left:

.

2) Select "PCF Gallery" (instead "Albums")
3) Select "Original only" on the left
4) Click the image u want to use

.

.

That's it.
The result should look like this:

Obviously, u can use the same method for thumbnails also.

Note: If the image is larger than post width it will be automatically resized.
Tip of the day: You can always look at the full resolution original by clicking on the image and selecting "Open image in new tab"


Now go mess with those pics, it's fun!

Have you tried to post as a thumbnail but remove the "_thumb" before the ".jpg"?

No. But, let's try it...



Yes, indeed, this gives the same result.

Not how I do it, but if it works and helps people its all good and informative.

Don't be shy, share the knowledge - here's the right place to do it.
If your method is simpler and better i will update the OP, i promise. With reference to the author!

Fair enough!

I hit "Link Images" when creating a post (on the right hand side). Worth mentioning I've already uploaded the picture I intend to use before I create the post.

I decide whether I want a full size or thumbnail pic at this point, if it is big, then it'll be a thumbnail, if it is small enough to fit the forum width without a problem then it may be full size.

Please note: If its a cat picture, it will always be full size

Click on it, job done.

Ow, your method beats mine hands down! Updating the OP asap!


Interesting how this "Albums" thing's supposed to work?
It's empty for me, have to switch to PCF images:

Ahh right, the pic shows you're doing it too, switch to PCF Images. Nvm, it's not important then.
