Forum image rules are: images shall be a maximum of 640 x 620. Larger images disrupt the flow of the topic.I see you are using Imgur. Pick the "Large" image link which meets Forum Requirements. I have removed the img tags. The image can be viewed directly by clicking the image link.

Unfortunately, I don't see a "Large" image link option anywhere in the Share options. Are you sure Imgur supports downscaled image linking?

EDIT: Nevermind. I think I know what you're talking about. I'm pretty sure the "Large" image link option isn't available unless you sign in.

For imgur shared links,
Just add the letter L to the end of the imgur link (before the '.jpg' . This can be done without logging in.

Thank you for pointing out "Large" not available when not logged in.

@asqwerth
Thank you for that claification. I will add that L for public images in the Rules. Very helpful.

FYI, the L does not have to be capitalised. I just used capital L in my post so people knew what letter it was, ie that it wasn't a capital i .

That's actually a really good tip. Thanks!

EDIT: Is there any way in phpBB to resize these for display in the forums?

Take a look at the last post from Bruce Banner

Why is that not in the phpBB manual? lol

By my standards, 640 x 620 is pretty generous- I'm used to a lot less and out of habit restrict images on a board like this to 480 x 600. So the forum doesn't automatically reject images over the size stated in the forum rules?

No, I whack them into a link when I see them.

Who isn't in the Debian family these days...

Not really what I'd call a "fast" distro, it was actually probably the slowest 
I've tried. Not to mention it's in the Debian family, so the package manager 
is awful. Plus, I don't see how any distro can have XFCE as it's default 
desktop in 2022. However, I can't give this a rating of 1 because so many 
things were made by the devs for the sole purpose of use in MX Linux, so 
clearly it's not a lazily developed distro, which is certainly respectable. But, 
building software for your distro isn't a good reason to have a bad distro.
