If you have a working image library setup:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Image Settings

And your forum is set to resize images:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Message Attachment Options -> Resize Images

Then it will automatically resize uploaded images to conform to the maximum dimensions that are defined in your:

Admin CP -> Attachments -> Attachment Manager

Also, be mindful of this restriction in the includes/config.php file:

// Image Processing Options
// Images that exceed either dimension below will not be resized by vBulletin. If you need to resize larger images, alter these settings.
$config['Misc']['maxwidth'] = 2592;
$config['Misc']['maxheight'] = 1944;
