    How to post pictures
    Been here since 2008 and still don't know how to do it properly! It's driving me mad.

    If I click the insert image button - it comes out really small.
    If I use [img] tags and stick in the URL, I just get a link to the webpage.

    Help please?

    You can't post images in H&R using [img] tags, in other forums you should be fine using [img]<url>[/img].

    Where images come out small from using the image button (and "from computer" tab), if you click on it it comes up bigger.

    Ah right, that explains a lot. Thanks.

    Is there any way to have big pics in H+R without people having to click?

    No - and I would advice caution posting pictures in H&R at all as you are not supposed to be able to (however when they upgraded the site, you could have images as attachments). It is usually better to link to the image than post it as an image if you want to stay on the safe side
