YES! Setting the display size maximum does not help with the file size. If the linked image is a huge file the entire file stiul has to download while the forum software then resizes the display size.
Never had an issue with loading speed, any size will do as long as we can see the important details.
yep, make em fit. 
We can always enlarge em on our end.
Unless it’s clearly a small pic, I’ll use an img tag:
<img width=‘100%’ src=‘…/fooey.jpg’/>
I should change the second voting option to……“I love my donkey” 
I did that on a sports forum and believe it or not, some people were fuming. Because you know, internet polls are so life changing.
It’s okay to love your pet, but you shouldn’t LOVE your pet. 
I'm still stuck on little naked elves squeezing pictures...

YES…… Make pictures fit properly.
Changing the image size % on the forum does absolutely nothing to file size.
It only changes how big the image appears.
The full resolution image gets loaded regardless, whether you make it 1000% or 1% scaling.
Yep, you need to reduce your images before inserting them in BLF, the BLF editor will do nothing about the size, if your picture was full res. it will load the full res., it will just display it differently. For example, look at this cute little pic , then right-click it and open in a new window :
lol I thought it was a 17 man crew at the Best Buy geek squad counter who were 3rd party contracted to make all the images display smaller.
Seriously, who knew that it was naked little elves squeezing down pictures making BLF such a great place this whole time
Too small pictures are even more annoying.
You know, I’m pretty sure I got stuck on a blind date with her once, back in the day. I’ll never forget that laugh.

You dated AOC? :person_facepalming:
Yes images should fit the page.
You can just hover over thumbnails and links with this greasemonkey script
The C01 is looking wellworn :+1:
For the Advanced Post Editor crowd the fit to width option is not available, but of course it is easy to use a standard maximum moderate width. I usually select around 640 pixels, maybe a little bit more. 540 pixels ensures an always fit in my experience.
I believe one can always use the Simple Post Editor to insert the image with the size limit set, then switch to the Advance Post Editor. Doing that will result in the need to edit what has been typed already as some formatting is removed with the change.
You can set image size in the advanced editor too, but in a bit weird way: instead of setting width to a certain amount of pixels, instead fill in a percentage in the width field, i.e “70%” , then empty the height field.
Good to know.
