It seems that the maximum image size that can be displayed using the BBCodes is 600x600. I can understand why this might be useful from the standpoint of limiting bandwidth use, but it's a PITA.
I've not yet tried "upload attachment" - I'll test it right now to see if a larger image can be shown that way.
Cool! Not only is that image 613 pixels high, but I'm able to place it "inline", meaning at whatever point within the text of my post I wish, and it seems I can do this with multiple files/images. I'll now test a really large image...
Ah! Maximum file size (not pixel dimensions) is 300Kb. I'll find something suitable to test...
...hmm. The image appears when I hit "Preview" but at a reduced size. Maybe it's one of those deals where it appears small but can be clicked to reveal full size; so now to hit "submit" and see if that's true.
EDIT: yes, it works! Click on the hummer and you'll get a window to open with the large version shown. No scroll bar for me (Firefox 4.0) but rather use cursor to pan (grab and push around). The bad news: very slow.
EDIT: by right clicking on the image above I'm able to select "open in new tab" and thus get the pic open in a way where I still have access to the underlying page. This is going to be especially useful for game maps. Most browsers should, I'd think, be able to do the same with some variation on the details.
