I have to start scrolling when the Pic is 800 or more Pixels wide.

I have to post shots 700 Pixels wide, or less, (Standard 640 X 480), to avoid scrolling in the new Forum.

& remember : this isn't a rule - it's an option.

& remember 2 : The view area will be widened on yabb - it's on the list of things to do.

& remember 3 : Whatever we do here, there will be people who don't like it for their own personal reasons. However we do GENUINELY try to feed into the majority wish list as well as try to feed out that 'feel good factor'.

1024 is the standard screen size from years ago - Once the forum screen has been widened, at worst some people may have to side scroll a little or right click - view image .

& for those complaining that the choice of forum software Roll Eyes

-- c'mon -- you KNOW the screen size can & will be changed as soon as I get a chance .. Smiley

Love the new rule, if anything think it should be upped even more!

800px pics are beginning to look like thumbnails...

Anyways, if you haters love looking at screenshots so much how can you complain about being able to see more detail?

My thought is since this sight is designed to be friendly to as many people as it can that the size should be as it was for almost everyones happiness. If it's a good shot then I think you should post a link to the large uncompressed version....personally Wink

The 150kb is PERFECT though... Grin

Can anyone else envision this thread marching purposefully in the direction of an argument?

C'mon guys...when push comes to shove, it's only some screenshots, and shouldn't be enough to produce seemingly angered results...

Anyway I'm getting a big new monitor + computer soon, so Tongue

Sorry guys, I didn't read all 5 pages, but to keep the aspect-ratio my screens would be:

1024 x 830 when fixing the width to 1024.

Is this ok for screenies / contest entries?

I've got no problem with the 150 kb limit, that's no problem, but I'd like to keep the aspect-ratio.....

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Fabian

From what I remember the comp rules state max width 1024 but don't mention height. Wink

Dave and Pete. Please excuse my tone and scepticism but, we've actually had this problem for over a year now and nothing has been done to widen the window even though it was prommised when we had the last change.

The only thing that has changed is your decision to go ahead and make the pics bigger, not the viewable size on the forum.

I don't think going back to the old format will make any difference. Just to clarify, this is NOT a new problem. I finally found the topic I posted on this subject the last time the forum was updated. Note the date - Dec 4th, 2006 --> http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1165264246

It was also discussed here. ---> http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1165832187

Hello Doug...

What I generally do, (with my default Desktop size of 1024 X 786), is to Preview my Photo/Screenshot first, and if I need to scroll it to view it in total, then I reduce its width so that I don't need to scroll it....

....BEFORE finally Posting it!.... Wink

800 Wide

I understand where you are coming from.

1024 Wide

But for those of us who are running widescreens and higher resolution, the above shot is a work of art!
