Anyone know how to scale a picture in a post?
Those little grips on the corners of the picture do not work when you edit your post.

You can scale them with the [img] tag using size =

Here is a page with an example:

Now, is this an image you are attaching or calling from another location?

ie.: <img src='http://www.cosportbikeclub.org/adbanners/r2sl-generic2.jpg' width='468' height='60'>

Just specify the width or height tag though (not both), because if you don't know the exact height vs. width in pixels the image will get trashed.

Trying to this in a post....

May I introduce the Piper GTR Replica.
I drove the real thing once and fell in love. :yes:

(Ok I only backed it up 30 feet and didn’t even get to start the engine. But I conceder it the best 30 feet I have ever driven.) :cry:

I'm pulling the picture off a website. I could download it and scale it and put it on my website but I was trying to scale the image without haveing to do that

I don't believe you can scale images using the IMG tags - remember that they're BBcode, not HTML tags.

It’s impossible even for the Omnipotent Overload of the Virtual Domain?

That is freakin' hot Randall. Is it a kit car or a 1 off race jobbie?

There is that problem... :lol:

I guess photobucket etc. is still the best solution then.

Piper Racing Cars (http://www.piperracingcars.co.uk/)

Piper use to make Lemans racing cars back in the 60’s. There are now back in business producing race cars again.

I was able to sit in a 69’ Piper P7 once and it was the sweetest vehicle. You lay on your back with the string wheel between your legs. The instruments were all on your left and you sat for the most part in the middle of the car, although there was room for two people.

There was a 351 Windsor with 8 carbs just behind you and it could sing. Never got to start her up but I have always want that car since. :)
