Resizing Images to post from outside souces?
Occasionally I like to include images available online in responses to posts to illustrate points made, or add some humor. I have tried looking for the sizing code in html but the instructions do not seem to work when the source is another website and the image is placed on a post here using the [img] [/img] tags.
Could you illustrate, in both code and image examples how to take an image and resize it up or down using code so it will show within a post on these boards other than original source size?
Thanks. example of an image that is waaaay too big to post:

doesn't seem to make a difference. check the code below from the image info. I specified different widths for each pic below, but they all appear to post the same:
1. ?w=200
2. ?w=100
3. ?w=400
4. ?l=100w=100
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Could you be more specific and/or use the images I grabbed below to show me?
Thanks.

It will resize for you AFTER you hit refresh. Your browser is caching the image presentation over what our site is requesting. The refresh forces our resize into your browser cache.

Uh, welll...no it does not. Also, not after I log out and reboot.
Unless you are talking about the images resizing down a bit to a standard size (still quite large) with a red dotted line around each of them.
I'm talking about resizing them to even smaller images as in the example of the pictures with the mouse in above post.
There may not be a way to do this on here, but so far, what has been suggested has not worked for me (view the code when you edit the above posts to see what I used.)
Any further help would still be appreciated. Thanks!

One way is to specify the pixels [img=<width> x <height>]<insert URL here>[/img]
The board auto resizes as well.
trying it below, specifying img=400x500
trying it below, specifying img=300x350
Hey, that works!!! :)
Could we possibly update the Support FAQ section with some of the basic html coding tags like this, bold, italic, strikethrough etc... so that others who have these questions could use it as a reference? There used to be a sticky on the Rice board with some of this info, but they took it down last year. Would really help when a newbie gets on here and does not know how to do this kind of stuff.
Thanks again to Antarius, GTS, and bitcruncher for the responses!
