Posted Pictures

Yes.

A.

Yup, it chops off over-sized images. To be kind to both people on smaller monitors and slower connections, the image really shouldn't be that big.

And, you gotta deal with the oversized images somehow. Personally, I prefer chopping them to smooshing them or blowing up the whole layout and having a horizontal scroll bar.

Sigh, small monitors & slow connections.

I work in HD Video all day on 2 30" Apple DIsplays.

Your cropping of my awesome car content is offensive.

:)

Now who in their right mind would put a wing on a 67 Barracuda? ;)

But seriously Apis has a point. Me? I’m guessing this is a Mac issue because I don't have a problem viewing this image in the origenal thread or any other images. So is there anything that can be done so everyone can see these images or do we need to modify (make smaller) our posted images?

It's not an issue, it's intentional.

Personally, I would never post an image on any web site that was more than 600 pixels wide. Maybe 800 on the outside. I'd rather see the full image, too.

I COULD resize the image by a percentage, but I'd be resizing ALL images by that percentage, which presents two problems. 1) it's REALLY going to annoy the guy who posts a pic that's only 200 pixels wide to begin with. 2) It's still not going accomodate people that get it into their crazy head to post a pic straight from their 10 megapixel cameral. We all have different ideas of what is the "right" size.

Remember, I have no idea about the size or shape (or anything else) of the images people are going to post, so I have to make an educated guess that will hopefully accomodate pretty much anything. For ones that are too large, I have to either crop it or blow up the layout. I choose cropping it.

Now, all that said, you CAN make the image clickable (if you have a thumbnail version) using the basic HTML the board allows:

<a href="url-of-full-size-image"><img src="small-version" /></a>

Classic car guys complaining about limited online photos.

Awesome hehehe

Tim, I'm confused the pic above is one I posted in the "One that got away" thread.

Again I can see the posted picture just fine, but I didn't think it was that big of an image (65kb in fact) and is url linked to my own website.

Could it be the broser being used? I noticed that Apis is using Firfox while I'm useing good ol' MS Explorer.

Still I'll try to be a little more careful in posting/linking pictures from here on.

Bret, your filesize wasn't bad at all, I think the 850 pixels wide may have just been a bit much. I'll look into this more.

One big difference (off the top of my head).. When you upload a picture to photobucket, it knows how big the picture is, or was, as the case may be.
