Or is it simply not possible to align the images to the center?

Correct. It can´t be done. Maybe it is a coming feature, but as we speak it doesn´t work here.


Actually that's not true, according to this thread from 2004 (not sure if things have changed since though.) -
How do you turn on the HTML??

Here's SkepticOverlord's post from that thread:

Actually, this is as good a time as any to test some new BBcode I worked on a few weeks ago, and never released for public consumption. There are new modifications to the IMAGE BBcode using the standard img declaration. The inline image to the right (hopefully) was declared using the new imgr BBcode tag. Yet the imgr tag I used is the first thing in my post content.

There are new codes as follows
imgr = align right
imgl = align left
imgt = align top
imgb = align bottom
imgm = align middle

These should work in addition to the standard img for a little more flexibility in deciding where and how images appear in your posts.... and impress your friends and loved ones.

The way I resize pictures is pretty easy and might help someone. I use the "paint" program.
Step by Step:

1. Right Click on the picture you want to resize.

2. Choose "Open" with Paint.

The Paint program will then open with your selected picture, ready to edit.

3. Click on "Image" in the top menu.

4. Select "Resize/Skew".

This will pop up a box with horizontal and vertical percentages.

5. Change the percent according to how much smaller you want the picture. For example, if you want it half the size you would type in 50% in both the horizontal and vertical areas. (It's important to use the same percentage for both the horizontal and the vertical or it will skew (or warp) how your picture looks. The higher quality pictures your camera takes the lower the percentage. For pictures taken with my 8 megapixel camera to be avatar size I have to set the percentages at 10% only, but for a lower pixel camera the percentage is higher. After a bit you get a sense for how much you need to reduce the picture. A lot of it has to do with what you will be using the picture for.

6. After the picture is the size you want, click "File"

7. Select "Save" or "Save as"
I use "Save as" and add 'avi size' to the name to make it easier to find when I want to open. An example of that would be naming the edited picture "B-day Party Pic Avi Size". You don't have to do the renaming, but it sure makes things easier for me to find.

I'm not overly computer literate, but I find this method fairly easy, so I just thought I'd share. Good Luck!

That is much easier than uploading to a resizing website, downloading to your comp and then uploading again to ATS (how I've been doing it). Thank you.

Do you have any idea how to change the size now within the [atsimg] code itself?

Do what I did in my previous post in this thread. Use ats tags (with the resize option) instead of the atsimg tags. The trick is to find out which number to use for the height. A width of 600 pixels is perfect for posting on ats/bts. If the picture is originally i.e. 800x600 or 1024x768, then a resize to 600x450 would be perfect.
