It appears this forum has a maximum allowable size for pictures in posts. 400 pixels wide? Is true. Not that I am against it. Sometimes the posts with large pictures really screwed up reading text.

The picture [for test purposes] below is actually 1920 pixels wide. Actual size



I wonder too, if a really long url would expand the viewing window of a post. I'm guessing it will not. That is a good 'feature' too.

Just did another test

I dragged the 400 pixel wide photo in this post, in my browser, to the desktop and viewed it in the browser again on it's own window and it reverts to the original gargantuan size. Handy if I want to blow up those stars in the heavens pictures posted.

It sure is fun experimenting.

This is an issue I hope could be updated ... I'm reading through many posts with linked images that look just horrible.

Is there a way to remove the constraint on picture dimensions?

WW!! Kate's desktop is really messy!

Neil,

That's not a good way as I just found out by replying. The reply window gets totally stretched as the original is posted below. The better way is to leave as is since all one has to do is ctrl click on the image and "open in new window" is the first selection which gives the big photo.

In the long run I would advocate boosting the 400 limit up to 640. Everything except the original MacPlus can show a 640 wide photo.

Besides, my neverending Panasonic Lumix TZ5 thread gets toasted by the 400 limit.

This is 400. I think it could be bigger, 540 to 640. I do like a limitation though as sometimes people may not know how to size, and then like Kate mentioned, you have to side scroll right to read.

You mean anyone can edit another person's post ??????

Ahh..........Neil, perhaps this is a bug that should be fixed.

No, only Mods can. I pushed the wrong button. Last time I ever push it other than on my own posts.

Yeah -- it's just because he's a moderator as we've been moving threads around. At some point, I'll figure out a better setup for permissions. It's actually fairly involved.

Thanks!

Neil

So clicking on the edit button on someone else's post just brings up the edit view but won't let me actually edit the post?

I've been wondering why is it there on everyone's posts.
