Well, consider what you are suggesting, users would now need to specify the size of the image width/height when inserting an image. I know that plenty of people do not even know how to get this kind of information about an image that is somewhere on the web. So, it is a little unrealistic to expect people to supply such information, it would also over complicate the rather simple [img] tag used now.

Getting the size of a remote image, is possible, HOWEVER it would be quite slow, since in order to do that FUDforum would need to physically download the entire image just to gets its size. Also not an option, since it causes to much server load and could cause severe posting delays, since if the server hosting the image is slow, the posting process would need to wait until the image is fully retrieved. I won't even go into the fact that there maybe >1 image per message.
