Guys,
I am sure I am being thick here but why is it when I post a pic on these forums hosted from imageshack you have to click on the picture to see the full size image.
How do I make it so the picture is the full size.

For example:

1) because Imageshack sucks ****.
2) because the image they link you to is actually a thumbnail
3) click it for full sized image.
 
Because you grab the code from the wrong box. There is one entitled Direct link to image. Use that url.

Other than imageshack what else is there to use

and

I was aware that you had to click on it to see it full size
 
I used photobucket, its ace, and will host the pics any size you want.
Will let you host videos too.

No. No it will not.

And just like that, ImageMan found his trait. Hunting down people hotlinking and posting massive images.

Edit: 5 minutes later and the image still hasn't loaded.

Edit: i can see a zalman flower!
 
I really don't know why people use image shack anymore, everything about it is ****, and it's about as fast as a stoned snail.
 
Imageshack is always going to be better than Photobucket IMO.

Purely because you need to register with Photobucket, and you don't with imageshack ;)

Also, try using the "direct link to image" code instead of the code "For use with forums" as people have already said.
 
There are a few different links that it gives you once you've uploaded your image, you're using the thumbnail one, just choose one of the others.

There's also an option to remove the banner from the bottom which shows the image size too, just read through the whole page once you've uploaded and you should be able to work it out.
