@Ragman,
Nag me tomorrow, I'll tell you how.
Oh, wait, here -

We have made updates to the image bbcode to allow you to specify the size and alignment of the images you post. This can be useful if the image is too big or if you’d like the text to wrap the image. Here is how to do it.
To specify the size, use width and height attributes on the opening image tag like this:
osso -
I have found that it is the width that controls it, and 1000 is too big but I can get away with 900.
So, if a photo from google images is way above all that, what would work would be 900 and 600, or vice versa for a vertical photo. Less works as well, natch.
If you lose this note, it's in the BLOG down at the page bottom, to the right.
Robert added that when he first changed a2k all around, and it's in the September 2008 part of the blog.
I've explained all this before at a2k but in odd places and didn't start a thread until recently - but that thread became how to add things to imgur or photobucket, which is fine, but not re google images, which can just have the pixels or whatever they are adjusted. I wearied of it and never went back to add this by Robert.
edit - I'll try this again skipping some spaces -

Ok, I give up, just go to the BLOG, and look at Sept 13, 2008, scroll down to New Image BBC Code.
