it was a phone image on FB, why does it englarge?
The forum software doesn't resize photos in any way, so if they're posted as an image on here using the <img> tags then it'll be shown at its original size, so if it's maybe 2000 pixels wide then you won't see the whole image at once and you need to scroll across the screen to see it all.
It will depend on your browser etc, but any image on here bigger than 1000 pixels wide generally won't show in its entirety without scrolling. If I'm doing images to display on here I generally make them 600 pixels wide, maybe 800 if slightly more detail is required. But 600-800 pixels wide generally looks neat and tidy.
On the other hand, if you just put a link to a photo on here without the <img> tags then when someone clicks on the link their browser will resize the photo so that the whole of it will be displayed. As would be the case now that you've just included the link, but unfortunately it says it's a bad URL
So it's not so much a case of the forum enlarging photos as *not* reducing them to a viewable size.
