Seriously, use a PNG.  Jpeg makes these screens unreadable.

It's nothing to do with the .jpg and everything to do with photobucket shrinking my photo to obscurity after I upload it.  The original is big enough to read easily, but photobucket is bad and should feel bad.

If there's a fullscreen option on the site, just view it in full, right-click and 'copy image location', then paste it within the image tags. That's how I get the full-scale pictures from my site at least. It should apply to anywhere else.

And even the site I use tends to shrink the images down too. Screw that, I'm displaying in full scale.

Is there an alternate place to store pictures that doesn't involve failure on a massive scale?  Because if you know of one I'll gladly put my pictures somewhere that doesn't suck...
but there's no fullscreen option on Photobucket, to my knowledge.

I use Tinypic. I don't think it ever deletes anything, and you don't need an account.

True, but at a certain velocity the resulting explosion expels invader-bits at fatal speeds. You don't want to be dropping trogdolyte-shaped shrapnel bombs into your boneworks.
Only in Dwarf Fortress...

Actually, TinyPic uploads aren't entirely permanent.  I posted a picture with them a couple years ago, and I just happened upon it again recently.  They'd reused the address for a different picture.

The effect was actually rather funny:

Still though, it's great for most standard-purpose stuff.

there is you just have to go to the option section on picture and make it so it takes MB, it really easy right under the upload button there an option to resize it.

I remember my first GCS in adventure mode, my henchman randomly shot one and all it could do was push us around. It was kind of sad, since I think one of the goblins nearby made it unable to shoot webbing or bite us for some reason.

I guess the most memorable kill I've had (i.e.: the one i still remember) was when I threw a severed dire wolf head at a wolf, and it struck the wolf in the head, causing the head to get smashed in, an unrecognizable mess. It was funny visualizing the dire wolf head sort of replacing the original.

I also vaguely remember my ballista arrow-throwing rampages and breaking every bone in a sentient's body and walking away, but that's just your regular adventure mode hijinks.

Ah, yes, throwing skill, makes killing giants on an adventurer's salary (AKA none anything you can steal) not only possible, but easy.
I remember once being so powerful I could decapitate a man by throwing sand in his eyes.
