Why are some pictures posted in a forum large while others are small? No matter what size the picture I post from my computer is, it always appears as a thumbnail that you have to click to enlarge. However in the same thread other users can post full size pictures that fill up the page, why is that?

Depends on where you get your picture from / what you do with it?

So you have to use a picture posting site like photobucket (r.i.p.) to have a larger image? That's an extra step that seems so 2003.

Well, I know there have been instances where people have posted a picture that comes out smaller, but when I click on it to open it in a new tab, then take that address and put "[img]" and the same thing but as "[/img]" on the other end, that will show up in the larger size later on.

Okay, thanks Major Hoy!

The thumbnailing of images if a feature, not a bug.
Without it, you tend to get images that are HUGE which plays havoc with board formatting (forces posts to be wider) plus forces people to scroll past looooong images that they probably don't care about.

People, if they're interested in the image, can always click on the thumbnail to make a bigger version appear.
