Image display size

My example with the menu was on the overlay that appears after you click on the thumbnail.

Thanks

And do those options on the drop-down menu on the overlaid image work?

The "save picture as" option in the drop-down menu works for me (Firefox/Ubuntu).

I have just realised that the lightbox extension makes quoting with an image require some instructions.

If you just quote a post, you get the name of the image file as text, not an image. This might make the quote part of the reply hard to understand. Including the image itself would be clearer.

To show the image in the quoted part of a reply post do this (a touch interface is different):

1. Quote the post as usual.
2. In your reply post you will see just the file name, e.g. myimage.jpg .
3. Scroll down from the editing box to find the post you are quoting with its image.
4. Click on the image. It opens in a lightbox (an image on a dark background).
5. Right-click in the image and copy the image address. This is a function of your browser, not the forum.
6. Close the lightbox by clicking on the X at bottom right of the image.
7. Scroll back to the reply you are editing.
8. Click on the image button just above the editing area (between the star and chain).
9. The cursor will now be between [​img​][​/img​] tags.
10. Use your computer or browser paste facility to insert the copied image address. This is often ctrl+V or cmd+V.
11. Delete the file name, e.g. myimage.jpg .
12. Finish your reply as usual.

Please could someone try this procedure and suggest improvements. Edits are in blue.

You’ll need to explain why we need to see the same picture again in a quoted post.

Thanks. I have edited my original post in blue so you can see what has changed.
