If a posting is posted with a picture I would suggest it be left as is.......Changing it so you have to push a button to show the
picture loses the impact of the subject matter. roger

Your standards are impeccable. I'll endeavour to live up to them...

If I'm understanding you... what you describe is a built-in, 'automatic' feature of the Forum.

How it works: If your image is greater than 400 pixels wide, a thumbnail (exactly
400 pixels wide) is auto-generated and that's what appears in your post.

Exhibit A - 401 pixels wide - produces a thumbnail

Viewers have the option of clicking on that thumbnail to load the full-size version of the image.
This has several advantages. Firstly, because full-size images don't load by default, less data is transmitted, the page loads more quickly, website bandwidth is reduced and global warming is narrowly averted. Secondly, keeping all images at a maximum width of 400 pixels helps with the uniform page layout. Users would otherwise have to scroll horizontally across the page when encountering oversized images.

If the image is sufficiently narrow to require no resizing (like the one you just posted), it will appear 'as is' with no thumbnail for enlargement.
