Re: Hi again - ezdays - 08-25-2011 Tyson Rayles Wrote:Russ a size limit of around 600x400 on pics posted directly or linked in and a limit of 3 per post (not thread) would speed things up considerably.That works, and limiting the size of the picture to 100K or less doesn't take away from the picture quality either. A lot of the pics in you threads in the Academy are running under 50K, and the details in them are satisfactory. Another reason for keeping the physical size down is that not everyone has a high resolution display. On some older displays, 600 x 480 might fill up the screen. Anything larger would require scrolling and then frustration sets in and the viewer goes on to a different thread. A point for everyone to remember when posting pictures: if you're proud of your photo, make sure it's sized so that everyone can see it and it doesn't take a very long time to view, otherwise your efforts are going to be wasted. If you aren't proud, go ahead and make it super big with a large filesize and you can be sure very few will be seeing it.

It's a great shot, plenty of detail and it's small enough to fit on most any screen and the filesize is great, even for you dial-up folks... Re: Hi again - BR60103 - 08-25-2011 Is there anywhere that we can select an option of "no automatic downloads"? Re: Hi again - Tyson Rayles - 08-26-2011 I don't think so but that would be nice. Maybe one of the mods or administrators can answer that. Re: Hi again - Ralph - 08-26-2011 I'll pass that question on..... Ralph Re: Hi again - doctorwayne - 08-26-2011 If you want to alter what you see here, go to your "User Control Panel", near the top left hand side of the page, then click on "Board Preferences". Next, click on "Edit Display Options" and, if you don't want to see the pictures, click on "No" on the line regarding "Display images within posts". Wayne Re: Hi again - Tyson Rayles - 08-27-2011 Thanks Doc, that works great! Re: Hi again - doctorwayne - 08-27-2011 Tyson Rayles Wrote:Thanks Doc, that works great! Actually, it was Andrew (MasonJar) that suggested the solution - I just passed along the message. Wayne Re: Hi again - Tyson Rayles - 08-27-2011 My thanks to Andrew as well! Re: Hi again - Ralph - 08-27-2011 Good! I figured some one would have a good answer! |
