Sorry for this.
I have imgur and cannot post decent size photos on this site.
They come out either to big "HUGE" or to small . I have tried all the different options including the message board option but to no avail.
What app works best "easiest" for this site . I am using a nokia 630.

when uploading images on imgur you need to select Edit, then upload
Now you see a new window with Crop/Resize
on the right you can put in any resolution you want

I find that anything near 800x600 seems to be adequate in size to view any details you want to show, I usually crop and/or scale my images to 800px in the longest edge. Anything more than that and it takes a very long time to load, especially for someone on a slow connection (there are still some of these in the world).

Crop/Resize works but if you need to keep the original size on imgur for other purposes then maybe selecting one of the thumbnail sizes at the bottom of the dialog might work out better. Large Thumbnail or Huge Thumbnail might be the perfect size.

Here are examples, the original is 2048 x 1152

SMALL THUMBNAIL

MEDIUM THUMBNAIL

LARGE THUMBNAIL

HUGE THUMBNAIL

All the same image and no editing.

Thanks for the help .
But when I download photos to imgur I can choose/opt for different sizes i.e. small ,medium,large or message board but there is no where to edit the size.
Am I missing something?
All the sizes above are huge ,tiny or don't work at all. How do access the editor?

When you choose the predefined sizes you cannot edit the size yourself. It is just easier . If you need to actually change the size of the source image then use the instructions that BRM provided.
