Not sure where to ask- I have an issue where if I open an attached image in a post it shows at full image size, rather than downsized to the window. Is there a setting for this? Drives me nuts.

When uploading photos there's the option for small, medium, large, or actual size.
I choose large every time and it avoids doing that. I think uploading actual size causes the issue.
So basically it depends on how they uploaded the image. Not much you as the viewer can do about it.

Bump, this still drives me crazy.

I haven't found anything to help, doesn't look like forum has any auto size function. It's all down to the uploader to choose correct size

This looks similar on my machines. I found this workaround to kind of lessen the issue: I do NOT left click the thumbnail, but rather open it in a new tab. With most browser, this should just be a middle click on the image instead of a left click ... or its touchpad equivalent if you're on a laptop (2-finger tap on mine).
Yea, it comes at the cost of having to navigate through the image tabs (instead of just scrolling), but at least images are displayed correctly there - auto-resizing to window, zoom in/out available, scrollable when zoomed in ...

Maybe an important note (or not): Left clicking the image in a thread cycles between thumbnail and full-size mode. On my browser (firefox with a myriad of addons), the new image tab will always show the version of the image that was NOT shown in the thread when I middle clicked it - meaning, if I middle click on the thumbnail/preview in the thread, the full image will open in a new tab; if I accidentally already left clicked the thumbnail in the thread (hence cycled to full-image mode in the thread) and then middle click it, only the thumbnail will open in the new tab. I hope that makes sense, it becomes much clearer once you see it.
