Linked Image Resizing

Hello,

I am sorry for such a basic question. How can I get the linked images to resize in CD? (ideally with a click through to full size.)

E.g.: Original Image:

Resize attempts according to BBCode:

Resize attempts according to some other forums:

Thanks!

You can upload the image to imgur and edit the size there. There are some default options under sizes that will add an additional letter to your url. For example:

[noparse]http://i.imgur.com/XXXXX.jpg[/noparse] - regular size
[noparse]http://i.imgur.com/XXXXXs.jpg[/noparse] - small square
[noparse]http://i.imgur.com/XXXXXb.jpg[/noparse] - big square
[noparse]http://i.imgur.com/XXXXXt.jpg[/noparse] - small thumbnail
And so on.

You can also edit the size to get exactly what you want (rollover the image > edit image > specify the size). However, as far as I can tell, this changes the image linked to by the original url, so you’ll need to upload the image again.

To link it to the larger size, you can use BBCode tags to link to a different url than it displays. If you want to display XXXXX but link to YYYYY:

[noparse]http://i.imgur.com/XXXXX.jpg](http://imgur.com/YYYYY)[/noparse]
