On the old site, those of us who had published books put images with the links. I see that some of you have done this, I'm assuming through third-party hosts. What hosting sites are you using?

For all the badges and other images I've posted on the forum I upload them to IMGBB. It took a slight learning curve to figure out which type of image link the forum would use properly, but... Anyway, others probably use something better, or fancier, or whatever. |

So... It worked, but it's HUGE! I keep resizing and uploading new files. I've tried ![]() and [fimg=#,#] and neither of those have worked. Any suggestions? |

I have no idea what else might be done. This is for a signature image, yes? So the image would need to be like 200x100 or something? |

Yeah. I used Photoshop to set it at 200x100 so theoretically it should work. B.ut it still appears something more like 500x200

I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually LOL. I'm always up for a good, stubborn, annoying tech challenge. I'm going to try different kinds of files. Maybe png vs. jpeg will make a difference.

The PNG worked, but I lost a ton of photo quality. So my guess is start off with a 200x100 canvas and 300 resolution in RGB. I think this one was done in CMYK for print maybe. I need to make a new one anyway because I have two books that aren't on there yet.
