I notice some have been asking how to add full size images to posts rather than just thumbnails.
And thank goodness for all of us that Monique & Martin has not only technical skill, but were kind enough to explain the process.
I am copying these instructions here for easy access to the information.
Thanks Monique & Martin !
1) If you find the picture some where on the internet then right click and click on "copy image location" then when you go to ABBACHAT and you select what topic you want to post to click the upper right "yellow reply" button. When that opens up to create a post at the top is a bunch of buttons you want the one with the image of a picture (it will say insert image) when you hover over it. Select that and "paste" your image location and then you will get a bigger picture. If you have it saved to your computer then you will only get the smaller size.
2) To change size, if you edit your large image post and click the 'BBCode' tab to show the code for the image rather than the image itself, you will see somewhere the max-width parameter set at 100%. Change that to something random (my little one above is at 5%), then click the Preview tab to see how it looks. You can keep going back to BBCode to try another % figure till you're happy with the Preview.
3) If the image is saved on your computer, when you choose 'Add image to post' it is of course uploaded to the internet (at postimg.cc). So you can click the smaller picture to view the full-sized one, then follow your instructions (right clink, copy the URL, paste into 'insert image') to make this appear below the small one, then edit the smaller one out of your post if required (the code that begins with '[url' and ends with '/url]').
Different browsers have various right-click options, so if 'copy image location' or 'copy shortcut' isn't available but there is a 'Properties' option then the address can be found and copied from there.
4) Right-clicke and choose 'Properties' (on my browser, could be different for others), then highlight and copy the address (URL).
Then in 'Edit' mode choose the 'insert image' icon (not the 'Add image to post' button ). It's 5 icons left of the Smiley, between the clapperboard and the email envelope.
Then paste the URL into the 'Image URL' field and click 'Insert Image'. It's probably best to get it to the desired size before uploading, or choose a new size during the 'Add Image to Post' upload, but it's also possible to resize it afterwards.
