Ok, now I am confused again. When I view your post, the picture displays as 1,096×730 and the size is NOT displayed on the bottom of the picture. Viewing image info from Firefox gives me "1,642px × 1,094px (scaled to 1,096px × 730px)"
I navigated to my post with that pic. I clicked on the pic 2x. I then copied the address. Pasting that address into the "Insert Image URL box" gave me an error. How are you posting the pic from my previous post? Is there some place where you select full size? Sorry for all the questions!

No problem Bob, anytime, I don't mind. Not sure why it's showing 730 for you. I'm not using the file manager here to post & is why it doesn't show the size under.
Oops, I forgot to say something in my last post...here I'll fix it:
Test #2. I just notice you same pic attached to the post you made, 1642x1094. Here I'm posting the pic hosted on here on H-M without using my image host in full size but how is a secret (your OS, browser, window size, & monitor/graphics chip resolution may limit the size though).
:rofl:
Ok ok but don't tell anyone....
2 ways. So you copied the full size pic url but notice it doesn't show a file extension, that's typical for images hosted by a forum. It's a jpeg but not important, still works without using the file ext in this case. I rarely use the message editor interface (except for font size & color). I always use BB code. So for posting a photo use the tags. Easiest way, for me anyway... (the asterik is only there so the code will display & not the image).
2nd way. Click on the Insert Image icon in the msg editor, when you enter in the URL you get the error because it's trying to upload the hosted photo onto this forum's server but the photo is already hosted on this server. So you would then uncheck "retrieve remote file and reference locally".
Ok Bonus Time:
Not sure if many use BB code but it doesn't seem like it. Sometimes the editor is faster, sometimes not but there are things you can do that are not in the editor. For example, the enter in a link icon. You click it, enter in a url & it'll display this, a clickable link:
http://www.hobby-machinist.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=80916&d=1406348759
But with BB code you can create a clickable link like this (I think it can be enabled in the editor though):
your photo of some very nice threading.
When you host a higher resolution here & it shows a smaller photo, then clickable for a larger view, you can do that also but anysize you want, like a thumbnail (click the small photo below).
If you want to learn more about BB code, the BB code list is
