Default Thumbnails to Full Size

Hi, I was wondering, how do I post my pictures as a full image instead of it just being a thumbnail that needs to be clicked to view ? Maybe I'm just being silly but I can't seem to work it out

Thanks

do you use flickr? really easy way is to view your pic on flickr, click above photo on "share this", then click on "Grab the HTML/BBCode" - just click on the text and rt click-copy. The come here and start a thread and rt-click paste. All the writing comes out as your pic when you hit preview post.

Remember to keep the size down - when you grab the code on flickr check the drop down box below that tells size - choose medium 500 to be safe.

hope this helps

Like andrewdt said, people who are showing larger photos on here are using something like Flickr or Picasa or something similar. You can actually use Flickr's 640px medium as well. That fits nicely on the layout.

And if you're not familiar with Flickr, here's a quick visual tutorial you can use for posting from there.
