A plea from us on dial up.

I feel your pain...

Never kick a unicyclist in the groin... it will only make them grow

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total
obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and
through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see
its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will
remain.

When people post giant pics, just do what I do:

-click stop when you notice that there is a huge pic.

Usually someone is nice enough to post a small version of the giant pic.
Look below for a reply post where someone attaches another pic.
Usually they say, "here it is resized."

-Right-click where the image should be, then click "Show image"

Wah-lah!

But agree with you, when people post giant pictures it is aggrivating.

Later,

Jess

I have nothing important to say at this time. But I will say that
college applications are not fun, and SATs still suck.

I'm sorry about that giant image🙁 I just got a new replacement for my
other digital camera that died and forgot to set the picture size.
Thanks for explaining how to undo the damage before the picture is
posted. I'll make sure I don't do it again🙂

Big images can be a pain on broadband too. Big images in terms of
resolution mess up the forum display. Big images in terms of file size
still take time to download and I don't think Gilby wants to be serving
up inline images that are 1 MB or bigger.

My personal rule of thumb is that images posted inline in a message
should be sized to a resolution of 640x480 or smaller and shrunk to a
file size of less than 40 KB.

Please resize images before posting them inline as an attachment. And
use a low JPG quality level setting to get the file size down to less
than 40 KB. I usually use a JPG quality level setting of 20 to 40 (on a
scale of 1 to 100) when saving the smaller image.

For those on dial-up there is a setting in User Cp >> Edit Options to
turn off the inline image attachments. Instead of the image you'll see
a link to the image. That way you can make a decision whether to
download the image or not.
