Photos that I post from my phone end up being gigantic. I don't see how to resize them to normal.

We do not currently have a re-sizing tool and photos will simply shrink to fit our largest size. You can, however, re-size on your phone and post.

I am pretty sure that other people aren't resizing first. Is that my only option?

You'd have to give me a link to an example, but there is also the possibility that it's just how your phone takes photos compared to others' phones. My photo above is a bit big, I feel, but not gigantic (may also depend yon your screen size, as it obviously takes up more real estate on mobile than laptop).

I do think your test one is pretty giant. It is funny because if I send someone a photo or post a photo on FB, it is normal size. I will try to find an example.

what happened to the 20 or so photos I had posted here?

I think I originally posted them as links from photobucket and then re-posted them using the direct upload photo icon.

Now 2 years later all the photos but one have disappeared?

You didn't. You used Imgur and [img ] tags, which then became outdated because Imgur now uses https, whereas you used http. I manually changed all of them.

Does this forum actually support bbcode image tags? Every time I try to use them, I end up with a mangled mess of mis-sized, duplicated images.

That's disappointing when I have a large list of BB-encoded image URLs ready to go. Oh well.

The file uploader does have URL copy/paste, so shouldn't need to do too terribly much
