No size limit really Hope, other than the size which they are stored on the website from where you obtain them. They are displayed on the Oracle Forum at full size. However you have to open the image on the net to get it at full size rather than right click and apply ‘Copy Image address’ (see my earlier post guide on 'Inserting images directly into posts') on the displayed ‘thumbnail’ images described below.

So type your search criteria into Google and click to search, at the bottom of the upper pale grey shaded area that contains the Google logo at the top of the screen, click on the second heading in from the left ‘Images’. This will display a page of ‘thumbnail’ images that Google deems relevant to your search criteria.

Scroll down through these images until you find one that suits your work-in-progress post then click on it, on the right of the expanded image displayed you will see 5 grey buttons, second button in from the left is titled ‘View image’. Click on this ‘View image’ button and the image will be displayed against a white background, this will give you a replica of the size of the image as it will appear in your post. If you feel it is too small then either click on one of the 8 related images displayed beneath the buttons or go back via the back arrow (top left of the screen) to the original thumbnail image page and look for another image.

Once you are happy with the image you have selected, then place the cursor on the full sized image, right click and highlight ‘Copy Image address’ option and click. Then as per my earlier post guide for inserting pictures, return to your post, where you have already positioned the cursor at the point where you wish to place the picture, already clicked on the insert picture button (mountain with sun/moon) and place the cursor on the flashing perpendicular line between the two sets of square brackets then click and the full sized picture address will be inserted. Then click ‘submit’ and the image will appear to the same scale of the original.

Hope, I’m going to add this, along with your question, to the end of my post entitled ‘Inserting pictures directly into posts’. This should solve your problem.

Kind Regards Redbeck
