This is a test thread where I try to insert many pictures, like I would do for a story:  Bla bla bla, bla bla...  Bla bla bla, more bla bla bla  Bla bla bla bla (what happened to this cat?) 
The next day Bla, bla bla bla bla   ... and they lived happily ever after. Fin |

I could actually need to resize the figures, but at least they don't go beyond the limits.

Test different pictures sizes Full size (1080 x 1920 px) [img src="https://i.imgur.com/xrG3ETA.png" style="max-width:100%;"]
^ this is the automatic bbcode generated from a simple [img] .... [/img]code after visualizing it for the first time, in the following I'm changing the percentage and centering the image 80% 60% 40% 20% It's indeed quite easy to resize pictures with BBCode here. |

I definitely think that 60% (ore maybe 80%) reduction is more pleasant to look at.
@snuffy, Did you get an answer to whether it costs money if you link images from an external host?
You can probably set some rules or blocks for the amount of images uploaded directly to the Forum.

MonaSolstraale , the last time I was on a forum on this platform we had the internal rule of always linking images from external sites because our limit was on the forum storage on uploaded pictures and files. For sure the space we use storing files on this forum can become an issue, but opening this thread I gave for granted links were fine. I'm better to check probably, though...

That sounds reasonable.
Next question: How did you tag my name?
I feel I am so clueless!🤣

MonaSolstraale , in this platform it looks like it's not enough to write @(name), but there is a function in the editing bar on the top  You have to click on it, and then type the username in that box that opens up  (In any case, I remember a bit of how this platform works just because I've already used it, it's impressive how different platforms manage to implement differently also the most basic stuff XD )

HermioneSims You can feel that you are familiar with the platform. Although it is in many ways reminiscent of the Danish Forum, it is still a little different.

As HermioneSims says, the limit for this free forum is on uploaded images and attachments, so linking from external sites (imgur etc) is the way to go. I'll leave the option for uploading avatars though so no one has to be a faceless blob if they don't have an image-hosting account set up anywhere. |

The faceless blob was a terrifying experience, although my mirror reflection may not look too good either 😂
I think it is a reasonable requirement that the pictures are hosted externally.
It also works fine with links to external websites, as we know it from the old Forum.
I would say that I would always recommend everyone to create a personal Story web page. It can be done for free and after having my stories deleted by EA once I don't want to depend on others like that anymore.
