Uh, I'd rather people just post a reasonably-sized image...

(It doesn't work in IE, although I see it does in Firefox.)

I'm using IE to do it right now.

By not resizing it, I preserved the quality so it will still look good even if you stretch it out to a 27" wallpaper for example. Not to mention, I would have to download the image, use software to resize it, rehost it somewhere, and then post it. It's too bad this forum doesn't support inline BBCODE resizing.

Hmm, I'm using IE and it didn't work. Worked in Firefox though...

I bet if you take a vote though, the majority would prefer the image re-sized...

I just tried again and it still doesn't work for me. I do see where I can drag the image and save it to the toolbar area and then I can open the image and it displays at a better size in Picture Manager.

As I said the work to resize isn't worth it. You can google search MRAP though.

Well, and there is the difference between you and me I guess. I'd have resized it or found a smaller pic to 'borrow'.

Really not that hard to find that similar smaller image using Google.

Here's the first image result, took less than a minute to locate.

If you really like the big image post a link instead.
