The CSS you quote forces the browser to re-size an image. Getting the browser to do that is generally a bad idea, especially if the original shot was a massive file straight from a camera. The browser will still need to download the full file, and then has to do the work on rescaling before it is displayed, so not only may it take some time to appear on screen on a slow connection but to compensate browsers use the crudest, roughest, down-scaling algorithm possible. Result: blurry images.
I guess that Nabble's scale-on-upload facility uses similar less than ideal scaling technology.
Generally, dedicated image editing software will provide a much better result at scaling, allowing you to select various algorithms and options for the best result with your particular image. Uploading an image that you have prepared for output at a particular size will always be the best option.
