Picture resizing, what's going on?

DrakeM

So long and thanks for all the fish
Maybe I just don't know what the hell I'm doing, but here is my observation:

1. When I attach a picture to a post, it gets resized down to a fairly small image. (Is this to save board space?) Also, extra large pictures won't post unless I resize them smaller myself, the limit seems to be the height at 1000 pixels or less and the width something around 1400 pixels or less.

2. When I post a picture via a link, no matter how big the image, the board can cope with it and it stays large in the post.

Why are these two things different? I'd much prefer the same algorithm (the second case) is used in both instances. Am I just doing something stupid in the first case?
