I see a comment about image resizing; it's about the only thing that GG did better than ProBoards, but there are a couple of ways:
First Method
Working on the Edit Screen of your post
1. Just add your image by clicking on the add image icon and giving it the image URL:
2. Look toward the lower left of your screen (still in the edit screen) and you'll see a link called BB Code. Click on that.
3. Look for the BB Code for the Image Statement - it'll look something like this:
(img alt="" style="max-width:100%;" src="http://www.naval-history.net/Photo01bbAnson45.JPG")
Where it makes the statement max-width=100% , change the 100 figure to whatever you guesstimate the size you'll need. 50% would obviously half the image size. Don't alter anything other than the max-width figure or you'll confuse it!
4. Click lower right "Save Changes" and check on your result. Repeat steps 2 -4 if needed to adjust.
Sounds long-winded, but it's much quicker and easier to do than it is to write!
2nd Method
With Proboards, the other thing we can't do is to specify an image from your hard drive - it needs to be out there on the internet, so it's easiest to use a free hosting service. Most services will provide you with a method of resizing your image, so you can do it as you're uploading.
With ImageShack:
Simply set the resize option before you hit the Upload button.

In fact, how does it work exactly? I mean, does it depend n the size of the original picture? Very big, reduced by 60%, average, by 20%?
