Sorry to go so far off-topic, though.

Flicker lets you choose the resolution of the BB code image you get from them (regardless of the native size you uploaded) and you can post it in several sizes simultaneously. I find selecting 800x600 never disturbs forum width formatting, but they let you go bigger and smaller too. Smaller is great for when I make a for sale topic (my bianual ETF swapmeet threads are an example) or something I'm posting on has a lot of photos as I can get them small enough that 2-3 fit side by side without disturbing formatting.
I do almost all forum reading on my phone now (stealing a few minutes here and there) and cellular Internet here is often glacial speed trash....If someone posts a lot of links it can burn several minutes waiting for the link to load, videokarma to reload, the next link to load and so on.... It wastes enough time that doing it usually isn't worth the effort. But if they are embedded they often all load into the post while I'm reading down to it thus I'm not waiting for page loads.
