Struggling to put in an image - my practice - ignore

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing difficulties with image uploads, particularly with the size and visibility of attached images. Adjustments to image size in MS Paint may not be necessary, as the "Insert Image" button can be used directly to add images from saved files. Once images are inserted into draft posts, users can resize them by clicking and dragging the corners. It's important to ensure the "BB Code" toggle icon is set correctly for proper editing functionality. Clear original photographs are recommended for better results in posts.

I changed the attachments from thumbnails to full size. It looks like your pictures are only tiny parts of the images you uploaded?

Thanks, I guess. Maybe I did not do enough magnification in using MS Paint? But those dimmed buttons while trying to put the image into the posts....
 
@symbolipoint I post images all the time with few issues. I have never had to magnify in MS Paint. I use the "Insert Image" button, and navigate to my saved image file. Once the image is in my draft post, I ignore the "thumbnail" buttons below the post.

The only thing I can think to do right now is, be sure to make a good original photograph, and then as appropriate, put into a PF post.

If the issue is enlarging images that you attach or paste into your posts, you can do that in the window when you are creating your post. I usually use Copy/Paste to insert images into my posts, and after you insert the image you can click on it to highlight it (and see the 4 corner squares that define the size), and grab the lower right corner square to drag it down and right to enlarge the image.

Note that the "BB Code" toggle icon [ ] needs to be set so that the other edit icons in the upper control bar are gray and not red. Like this:

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
