How to Manually Thumbnail Your Pictures:
While resizing has its uses, let's face it, if you're posting a picture and want it to be appreciated in all its glory, full sized images are the only way to go.

There is however a quick and easy way to do it manually without an Imageshack account. Here's how:
1) After you have uploaded your picture to Imageshack, copy and paste the "Forum Code".
2) Simply add .th at the end of the image filename in the IMG link like:

Resizing Your Pictures:
Short of using an image editor, if you are using Imageshack to upload your pictures there is a drop box option to resize your pictures. For example the below image was resized to 320x240.
