This is a 7' super-UL spinning rod I made for a bluegill nut in Austin on a Lamiglas 3-weight fly rod blank:

Can someone explain how to keep photos from getting shrunk so small on here? I can't seem to figure it out.

While making a post, if you scroll down, beneath the "submit reply" and "preview post" buttons, there's another area called "Additional options". There, you'll see a button called "manage attachments" and that's one way of uploading/attaching your pics to the post. There are size restrictions though (1280 pixels wide and/or 1280 pixels high).

When I look at the properties of your pictures and go look at the source pic, that is the size I see, i.e., the same as is in your posts

So I'm wondering if what you're inserting is the thumbnail of the pic you're wanting to insert, not the original size?

I was copying the URL of the photo and then pasting that into the insert image box on here. It doesn't give the option to copy the URL when you're looking at the actual photo, so I don't know what I was doing wrong. I'll try the method you suggested.

You can right click on the original picture, then select properties and that will show you the URL and the size of the picture (see attachment) but some times if your original picture is too big, like 1280X960 pixels or larger, it can mess up the forum because most forums are set to be at a preset width.

So, if you look at the attachment, the pic you selected to paste is the same size as the pic that showed up in your post.
