Try using 'control' & '+' or '-' to resize your screen when photos are too large. Press both keys at the same time. Font size is reduced but you
can easier increase it again when you go to the next post.

Better---no blood----but piercing eyes. 
Nice photo work even if it is of dead fish.

I concur on the 800px-width. The default width set for the forum to display at is 728px - and was meant to fit the SVGA (800px width) screen
resolution that was the lowest common standard at the time (2002) - and thusly the request for 600px-width even a few years ago (the thread I
forwarded to David was from 2007). A 600px-width image with the table column for the usernames/avatars/etc being 130px, leaves it still just under
the 800px-width (and within a couple of pixels of the 728px forum default).
Computer displays have improved greatly in the past 3-5 years or so, and today XGA or better can be expected (1024px width). Thus, an 800px-width
image has a pretty good expectation of not causing any scrolling for viewers.
I think there does need to be some "limit" as a guideline, whatever that "limit" may be. Otherwise, if someone posts a 4000px-wide image that nobody
can see as a whole image - it detracts from the viewer experience (well, at least most of them anyway) - and it should be resolved by adjusting it to
the commonly understood "guideline".
Willy was right in noting it's not the size of the display (15", 17", 19", etc), but the resolution the display is set at (and/or capable of). You
can read more about common display resolution standards here:

Including this image showing the actual size differences in comparison:

As also noted earlier in the thread, you can always link to your higher resolution images too if you feel it's important for others to see some of the
finer details in/of the image(s).
