Is this thread you're trying to post images to called "No Link," or is that referring to something else?
Are you asking about how you insert images directly into posts so they show up without a link? If so, that's called "hotlinking" images; go to our FAQ sticky and click on the link about inserting images (it's about halfway down the first post) for detailed instructions.
However, you should always make sure your (especially hotlinked) images are:
- reasonably sized so they don't stretch the page (especially on smaller screens, like laptops) or take too long to load;
- in accordance with Lit's image posting guidelines;
- not so objectionable that members who are browsing in public places or where kids might see the screen or not interested in viewing the content of the images are forced to load them (e.g. while a cock pic in your thread might be fine, hotlinking one in your sig or AV probably isn't the best idea).
As for resizing images, if you take your pics with a camera on a normal setting, you should be able to reduce the size to whatever size you want (big or small) using a free program such as GIMP or Irfanview. It's generally impossible to enlarge small images without losing quality.
Other than that, I'm not really sure what you're asking.
