3. Click the three little dots and select "get share links", then copy the one listed as 'BBCode (Forums)"

Resizing Images
- Sometimes its not easy to tell the image youre copying from another website is too big for the forums, or its incredibly small and hard to see.

To Resize:
1. Create the image coding for your picture, [I M G]url here[/ I M G]
2. In the first bracket, add "= # # #" - You can resize almost infinitely, but the best sizes for the fights are in the size range of 100-400, with 400 being the largest you'll want to use depending on your image.
note: you dont need to make all images 400 for the best quality, its dependent on the image itself and can take a couple of tries to find the best size for posting.

Examples:

Image w/o Size Codes
User Image


100 [i m g= 100] [/i m g]
User Image

200 [i m g= 200] [/i m g]
User Image

300 [i m g= 300] [/i m g]
User Image

400 [i m g= 400] [/i m g]
User Image


- You can also go half steps

250 [i m g= 250] [/i m g]
User Image

This case 250 seems to be an appropriate size for this picture, but always make sure to double check that your post isn't being stretched by an image after you post. It may look alright in "preview" but then still be too large or too small when in the forums.
