The best way to post photos on RFF to avoid IQ degradation

the trick on rff i found to this is post the jpeg using 'insert image' with single landscape-looking icon.
then after it shows up on reply page at larger intended size, click once w/mouse on center of image chosen,
creating a blue crop box around full image.

then drag right-side of blue corner tag to smaller size to close to ~50% of page width, click outside box, save.
It shows image at closer to correct intended viewing resolution while sometimes it seems it doesn't matter unless looking for sharpness.

That's what I do mostly now as when I'm on the Laptop I can't see all the picture in a post but when I resize, I can click the picture and go into Gallery mode and see the whole picture, one more click but a better viewing experience.

For those not in the know: In Flickr, the standard large size is 2048x1369. However, when you click 'view all sizes', you can select the large size 1600x1069. After selecting this size, you still have to click on it and then download. Cheers, OtL

No, just copy the link and post it here. That's how I have been doing it for some time now. Quick and easy.

To share from flickr click on this icon below the flickr image:



A dialog box will appear. Click on BBCode, then choose the size. Size options will depend on the size the image when uploaded.

Copy the code and paste into a forum post and the image will be embedded in the post.
