It might be directed at me. How do I do that if I use an image url?

You're not the only person to ever post an oversized picture. I've done it myself. It was a generic request, aimed at no one in particular.

One method would be to download the picture, resize it with a graphics program like Paint (available on all PCs running Microsoft Windows) and upload it as an attachment in the "go advanced" posting window.

In Paint, there's a selection under the Image heading in the menu bar for "resize/skew...". Just make sure you put the same percentage number in the horizontal and vertical boxes.

OR...

If you have your own website, after editing you could post the re-sized picture on your website and link to it.

I once asked that in the "Feedback" forum https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=104332

The short answer is you can't.

I have two solutions:
a) Download the image and upload it as an attachment.
b) Download the image. Resize it. Upload it to a free hosting service (like ImageShack). Use the URL.

You can aim it at me. I don't mind.

I think it's easier to just find another photo, unless I really want to use that photo. Eh... I dunno... I need steak so I can think.

Clearly, we just need to post some tall images so we push the wide ones off the page

This wouldn't exactly "battle" your picture, but I couldn't resist!

This might be useful:

http://forums.vso-software.fr/how-to...er-t10349.html

Also, you can use one of the many image hosts, like imageshack.us, photobucket.com, etc.

It's all free.

Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This photo is of me selling a shovel.
