How to resize photo uploads?
I suppose some beautiful photos deserve to be big, but for things like airplane meals, smaller is more appropriate. I'm quite sure that others feel the same way (whether it comes to uploading or viewing).
If there is a way to resize how is this done?
Also, it would be nice if the default size was about 35% of the current default.

No built-in way to do this. I use https://resizeimage.net
Agreed it would be nice to have the capability when uploading without having to go through a 3rd party though. The one I find creates the most problems is people posting portrait mode photos/screenshots from their phones at ~2000 pixels high, which can be quite annoying to go through on desktop.

I use IrfanView (free and can do bulk operations on a whole folder) but any other image software should work, and I set the larger side to 1000px so portrait and landscape end up the same size.
While I understand the desire to want to be able to do it in the browser, I think that making the image upload interface any more complicated is asking for trouble, especially if you are on a slower connection or memory-intensive browser.

Even if the underlying image file isn't resized, it'd be good if a maximum image display size was forced in CSS. Scrolling through loads of pictures way taller than the screen, combined with 1 sentence of text tucked away under it, is a rather poor reading experience.
Just a little max-height: 60vh; on all <img>s would help a lot - and be a lot easier to implement than resizing the image file itself.

I've been making a habit of resizing my own uploads ... add the pix, click "Upload", click "Source", change the default size on each one (typically something like 2000x1540) to something around 40% (800x600)

yes; here’s a recent one I posted in the Alaska Airlines “Views From Above the Wing” thread
in View Source it looks like this (added a couple extra spaces to break up the actual code)

original size was 2000x1540
