Why are the photo previews so small for photobucket pics?

As in title, is it a memory/bandwidth/storage issue?

Couldn't they made a little bigger?

So, the actual size of the photo below is 1024x768 but you can see the pic below is just larger than a thumbnail which means you need to click on it to get a bigger picture. When you do that, it opens a new tab/window - which kind of makes looking at longer threads with lots of pictures a bit of a pain.

*editted place picturelinks between Image
photobucket uses also here your link <delete this line

you can now see you can open the photo from the forum*

it's what sean said. to make it better to see on any device.

but it is possible to upload pictures without using photobucket. on the left bottom of the editor you see "tinypic"
and if you use it it will look like this:

it's much easier now to upload pictures without loosing the overview of a thread.

i 've looked into your post and see whats wrong, why it opened towards photobucket.

photobucket uses 2 codes.
[img]
[url]

[url] is the link to the photobucket website. that line needs to be deleted.

i've editted your post so you can see it also works to open from the forum.
