something has changed re: photo uploads

[Dmacleo]

seems to be going on for about 2-3 weeks, when uploading photo using the media tag it was asking if insert into post as full or thumbnail.
now it automatically inserts as full, you have to click the small pic to choose thumbnail then delete the huge first inserted photo.
looks like its causing a lot of people to post with huge pics in the post.

In this post ( Forestry mulchers: drum or disk? ), there are two images. One is over 8m, the other is over 11M. There is simply no valid reason for images to be that large in file size. Most forums I've been part of limit upload sizes and won't accept images as large as those two. We need to...

What is your problem with posting pictures?

I think the "new forum" software is a big improvement.

I've been doing ok with pics. It's editing text that sucks. "Undo" doesn't work for sour hen crap. btw, I prefer to edt out the full size pic and let readers click on the thumbnail if they want to see details

The new version works the same now if the picture or the thumnail is clicked.

You can make the picture display smaller in the post. See post # 4 above.

the point is not to long ago, with THIS newer software, the EMBED was not automatic. it would attach to be clicked by viewer OR after upload you could click thumbnail or full to embed. IOW it was not automatically inserted into post full size.
