I've noticed that when some people (Harvey) do a quote with a picture, he resizes it so the quote is not as large as the original.  I like this practice because sometimes it's good to have the picture included for reference but repeating the same large picture over and over again certainly isn't needed.

But how do you do it?  How do you resize the picture in the quote?

You change the width of the image (the height will scale accordingly) in the first image tag like this:

[img] change to [img width=300]

300 is an arbitrary number; so just pick a number, click the preview button, and if the picture is too big/small, choose another number.

I thought I saw this posted once, but I just couldn't find it.
Thanks Verena!  You are a gem!

This seems the place to do it, so I'd like to verify I'm posting a pic here. I'm posting from my Dropbox account. If this isn't the place I apologize.
If someone could verify that they're seeing a pic as well I would appreciate it. Cheers!

Your photo should end with .jpg on the end, usually.  Make sure you have copied the entire code and this may help.

WooPee! It worked from the web! Now I'll try from a picture in a file folder.

That's my cat, Sunny, BTW. He died a couple years ago, we miss him a lot.

You cannot upload a file to the forum, you can only link to pictures that exist somewhere on the internet.
