In the last few months, I've been seeing more posts that have huge, screen-spanning images. One or two isn't that bad, but they add up, and can quickly make a page obnoxiously long to scroll through. So I thought it was worth pointing out that XenForo actually has a built-in feature to resize images.
After inserting an image, click on it to bring up the bounding box and the image menu. Then, click on the ✣ icon to enter a width or height (you don't need both; it will automatically scale to keep the image proportions, so one is sufficient). Or, you can click on one of the blue squares in the corner and drag them to manually resize the image. Alternatively, for those who prefer to just type the BBcode manually, add
If you're concerned this will make your image indistinct at a smaller size, don't worry: images in a post can be viewed in full by clicking on them. Also, all the images in a single post become part of a gallery, allowing them to be easily flicked between in the preview mode. You can see what I mean by checking these images:
Also, the gallery mode is only enabled for a post if the images have been resized (and only includes images that have been resized). So that's another benefit!

into the [IMG]
tag for the effect.
