BBCode image resizing not working in forum

BBCode for image resizing doesn't seem to be working according to several sources I've checked to ensure the code is correct. For ex: https://www.bbcode.org/examples/?id=10

No matter what size image I link it will resize to the dimensions of the VLC Interface screenshot in my post here, which in this case is a lot larger than the actual image.

Anything I add to resize the image results in no change. I've tried all of the following:

Code: Select all

[img size=100]URL[/img] [img width=100]URL[/img] [img=100x50]URL[/img] [img width=100 height=50]URL[/img] [img width="100" height="50"]URL[/img]

I figured out what the problem was and it turned out to be due to the way that newer versions of macOS (I'm using Catalina) save screenshots at 2x the image DPI (pixels/inch):
How can I stop my retina display from taking 2x sized screenshots?
How to resize a screenshot image on a Mac so that it is “regular size” when posted on the Internet?

This appeared to be the easiest solution when needing to upload a single image online:

So there is no issue with BBCode. I posted the resized VLC Interface screenshot in a new topic here and it now appears normally.
