Maximum Picture Widths in Forums - 2011

kronckew · 22nd December 2011, 08:36 PM

i never run my browser at full resolution, i can handle 1280x1024, but 800 fits my browser best, if the forum doesn't allow for auto-resizing of images.

i use firefox which will auto-resize, but only if the forum software supports it and it is turned on by the admin.

when it works, the pics always fit the browser, and you can click on them to see them in full size if desired.

it's frustrating when the larger pics don't resize & you have to scroll to read the text and see the whole pic.

1024 seems a good size for me , I can easily see the entire picture without scrolling ....and prevents the need to scroll when reading text accompanying the larger resolution pics.

MERRY CHRISTMAS .....HAPPY HOLIDAYS ....JOYEAUX NOEL.....FELIZ NATAL...FELIZ NAVIDAD

Do not be concerned about the image size limits being reduced, that is not under consideration. I just have been seeing more machines that run at 1920 x 1200 native resolution for their screens and wondered if I should bump it up. My primary machine for forums maintenance is at 1280 (x3) and so anything over 1024 gives me the slider bar...

Technical hint - You should always attempt to run at the native resolution of a CRT screen for best image clarity. The operating system should have settings to adjust text and icon size.
