<img src="http://www.location.com/title.gif&quot; width="200" height="85">
<img src="photo.jpg" width="75" height="40" />
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]<IMG SRC="photo.jpg" WIDTH="96" HEIGHT="134" BORDER="0">
[/FONT]Firefox seems to work with % sizes... But those are dependent
upon the Firefox window, not the original image size... Setting the
width to "25%" results in a dynamic resize to one quarter of the window
width (and the height seems to be proportional to the image, whereas
specifying both as "25%" results in scaling to the Firefox window shape)

    The forum software does not recognize HTML tags. It converts all "<" to "<", thus blocking the tags' effectiveness.

    For scaling images, I use Corel PhotoPaint to shrink them, if necessary, before uploading.

    I use IrfanView, it's free.

    MS Paint is also free and it's already on every Windows computer. Just use the Image>>Resize option and type in the amount to reduce (horizontal and vertical).

    This is what it looks like using MS Paint and the stretch function with 50% height and width. If the browser is single stepped in view size using ctrl+ or ctrl-, the image size can be adjusted to a perfect match with the original size, so it's possible to know and adjust the image appearance before posting. It's inconvenient to invoke other programs to adjust the image outside of the forum post but it works. Knowing a 1:1 relationship exists with the offline image is the key.

    The image now will simply re-size using the mouse, in the newest Forum... A very nice and easy to use feature. Posts look very nice too.

    Unfortunately the resize did not save during the edit.
