Images from google drive are tiny
Any image I try to share from google drive show up very tiny in my post. What can I do so it isn't tiny?

If you're linking from the thumbnail, it's going to link the thumbnail size.

So, when I use my google photo drive, if I grab the link from the thumbnail, it'll show from the thumbnail it'll be that size.  If you open the image up and grab the URL that way, it'll show up full size.

The only thing I can think of.

That's what came to mind...just make sure you're linking to the actual image.  RPOL doesn't automatically resize images (much as I sometimes wish it would, every time someone posts an image in-game that's wider than my screen).

The Responsive RPoL does.  Maybe it's time to migrate?

Thank you. I found a way to make it work but this may help other people.

I was using a mapping program and, after saving my map to google drive, I posted it on here in a thread. It showed up really small, probably what is called a thumbnail. However, if you clicked on it, it would pop up.

I finally looked in the Game Map option in my game (duh, I know I should have looked there first) and saw I could post it there for different groups and it worked.
