You have to find the parent container/class where the image is placed. Its differentely from theme to theme. Some older themes doesn't have classes. You can use the inspector tools in your browser to locate it. In Chrome press F12 or in Firefox press STRG+SHIFT+i.

I found a fix by comparing the files of a theme that did resize the attachments to one that did not. This is not my script - just copied from a theme that does resize images in attachments.

Edit /[the-theme]/forum/viewtopic_body.tpl

find:

Code:

<a href="{U_VIEW_FORUM}" class="nav">{FORUM_NAME}</a></span></td>


</tr>


</table>

add after:

Code:

<script> 


window.onload = resizeimg; 


function resizeimg() 


{ 


   if (document.getElementsByTagName) 


   { 


      for (i=0; i<document.getElementsByTagName('img').length; i++) 


      { 


         im = document.getElementsByTagName('img')[i]; 


         if (im.width > 600) 


         { 


            im.style.width = '800px'; 


            eval("pop" + String(i) + " = new Function(\"pop = window.open('" + im.src + " ','fullscale','width=400,height=400,scrollbars=1,resizable=1'); pop.focus();\")"); 


            eval("im.onclick = pop" + String(i) + ";"); 


            if (document.all) im.style.cursor = 'hand'; 


            if (!document.all) im.style.cursor = 'pointer'; 


            im.title = 'Click Here To See Image Full Size '; 


         } 


      } 


   } 


} 





</script>

You can change the size of the image, of course.

For themes without their own forums add the same script to /modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/viewtopic_body.tpl
