As Denny constantly reinforces, I am not so good at using a spell check nor am I proficient at the use of the English language. Without a shadow of uncertainty, I expect some comment to appear in the comments section about how I did something wrong, yet again. In an effort to improve myself and to better use this site, I would ask for helpful information from the staff or anyone in the community that is knowledgeable in this area. If I have a specific picture that I want to link into the thread, how do I resize that picture so that it does not extend beyond the borders of the post? I can link pictures and then where it says width and height I usually make adjustments and it looks good until I preview them, then it returns to the original size. Can anyone instruct me on the proper method to accomplish posting the edited picture?

Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
I think there is a bug for picture sizing in the CMS that runs this blog. I'm a web developer, so I know what I am doing, but I can't get resizes to stick either.
I don't know either...there is a tool to adjust it when you upload it, but it never seems to shrink it down eonugh.
"Don't put syrup on shit, and tell me it's pancakes"
No matter how sh*tty the tour is, it's always tough to leave.
I was just about to post something like this. There is definitely something wrong with the image posting tool. It doesn't seem to resize at all.
Once you upload the photo you want to post, the width and height listed is in pixles. Adjust width to something near 250. I've noticed sometimes even after adjusting the size the post is bigger than expected although the preview looked fine. Like LA said, gotta be a bug somewhere.

Interested in hearing from the Elevenwarriors staff on the matter....You guys aware of the issue?
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
If you set the height/width correctly the first time before you insert the image, it will appear correctly at whatever resized dimensions you have chosen.
If you post something that's too large and then go back and attempt to edit and resize it, then yes, there's a bug of sorts that keeps the image at its original size. At this point, if you want to resize it, you must specify the height and width HTML attributes for the image.
So, you would have something like this:
And you would need to change it to this (in the source view):
Again, that's only if you fail to size it correctly the first time you insert it. If you nail it on the first attempt, you're golden.
Jason, if only it were so easy to resize other things in life.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuu
Cant grasp the idea of what you said. You want to break it down Barney style for me? Don't use acronyms either, they confoose me.
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
So the way that I'm reading your tip Jason is that we put the width attribute in the overlay editor before pasting the image source code - that, or we need to edit the image on our own in Preview/Photoshop.
Most of the images that I link to (and I think most people link to) are from around the web - so do we first enter the desired width and then the URL link?
Taquitos.
It resizes nicely. Does everything I tell it to. Then I post it and shows up in normal/original size. I edit it and go to source to make the adjustments and it is listed as the size I intended but not showing up as the size intend.

Just make sure you get the dimensions right before you insert the image into your comment/blog post/whatever. If you take an image from the web instead of uploading it, when you paste the URL in, the height and width will automatically be filled in for the image.
When this happens, just ensure your width is < 550 or so and you're good. That's really the easiest way to do it.
Doing it and it is not working Jason. I am changing everything. I put the width in and the height and it looks perfect on the screen. Then I hit preview and BLAM, I am looking at 1700x1000 and every cute blemish on Charlize Therons face.

I tried to HTML resize this (reduced dimensions to 10% or ~ 550 wide) and it didn't work once I previewed. It looked fine in the webview editor though, like Irricoir is saying he's seeing as well. Not sure linking to large external images is gonna work, you guys.
Taquitos.
[IMAGE REDACTED B/C TAKING 5500 PIXEL WIDE IMAGES AND RESIZING THEM IN A WYSIWYG EDITOR IS BUSHLEAGUE/AMATEUR HOUR]
But I just put in that same external URL Denny and put in a width of 550, hit okay, and hit publish and it worked fine.
The image of Al above was a test that worked for me. Original size, 700px wide, now 400.
Step 1: Paste URL of image into popup
Step 2: Wait until height/width properties are filled, then ensure lock icon is locked and change width to under 550 or so (note: this width gradually decreases as comments are nested)
Step 3: Click okay
Try it with this one: http://www.pilgrimsop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/deadwood-al-toasts.jpeg
What Luke said. That source image was 5500px wide, which even resized here is way too big from a bandwidth perspective.
Not working - maybe something with user v. author settings?

This is how I've always tried to do it and it still doesn't work. That's when one of you guys steps in to save the day and resize it with ease.
You guys have magical internet powers and you're not sharing. :(

Yeah, I suck at spellcheck but I follow good directions and I am failing to accomplish desired results here.

Denny, do you mind if I reset your password and try it as you?
By all means go ahead. Just email me a new one when you're done.
Taquitos.
WTF
Taquitos.
You guys were right. My apologies. I'll look into it and let you know what I find out.
Denny, I sent you a DM with your new password. Please change after you login.
Sorry, y'all. We promise we don't end user troll intentionally. Okay, at least not all the time.
Wow! Super Nerds!!! Man i love this site. it has everything!!!

Outstanding Flip. 11W I am sending you a bill for my broken Keyboards, I hope you understand.

HAHA. I love this thread. I really hope we get more expert photoshoppers and such around here so we can have cool image post threads and meme's generated, etc. I really want to learn more about html, embedding videos, anchoring links, photoshoping, etc. so I can contribute funny cool pictures and mash-ups.

Actually Im perfectly ok with huge pictures of Charlize Theron. I say leave it as is.

Yeah man, she does something to me. Living in the south I am starting to despise southern accents but her fake one, used in The Devil's Advocate, is very endearing.

I'm just wondering if that's the picture someone was referring to as revealing every blemish on Charlize's face. The woman still looks perfect to me.
How firm thy friendship... OH-I-O!
I am going to take the lunch money from all you nerds.
How will I pay for my fiestada? :(
Did somebody say Nerds???
People are saying that I'm an alcoholic, and that's not true, because I only drink when I work, and I'm a workaholic.

Northbrook,
Please don't take my lunch money. I have a wide array of interests and many of those would be considered Geeky/Nerdy. I just want to be friends. What do you say?
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
Irricoir, post me a properly sized picture and I'll relent.
How about this one?
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
How much ya bench bro? LOLz / jk
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
That will do.
Rest of you que up, I'll be needing that money soon.
I would tell you but then a whole slew of steroid/growth hormone comments would enter this thread and the only thing I can do is pull a Mark Mcgwire (Spelling?), deny, deny, deny. As we have seen with the media people will believe whatever they perceive or what ESPN tells them to. I bench enough and physical fitness is important to me. I haven't talked much about my job but I can tell you a tad. I train professionals in defensive tactics among other things so I have to remain at the top of my game.
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
I was just being sarcastic, I don't really care what you bench to be honest, but judging by your physique I'd say you could put up at least 315 a few times.
That's a pretty interesting job bro, I'm sure its exciting.
Run_Fido's favorite word is strawman.
Yeah, thanks bro. It can be rewarding when a student returns to you and gives you their experience and tells you how they fell back on their training in order to save their life.
315? Mmmm once or twice.
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
Yeah I'm sure it is. Definitly makes you feel good, I train athletes/bodybuilders so I can kinda relate to the feeling.

11W, any news on the cause of the bug and when it will be fixed? I don't understand this whole interweb thing so I have no idea how long a problem like this takes to fix.
I don't always take names when I kick ass but when I do, they most often belong to a Wolverine.
I believe they are using Drupal (a content management system) for this site. What that means is it is a bug in Drupal, which the 11W folks likely can't fix unless one of them is a PHP wizard and wants to dig into the CMS' code. It will probably have to wait until the bug gets fixed by the project's maintainers.
Okay..so you are saying wait and see. Gotcha.
