Now that's a good one, right there. There's a class-action lawsuit if anyone wants it.
A compromise maybe?:
When posting in the Photo Forum, make 'em a s big as you want - that's the point of that place. But if you want to post a photo of a bunch of dead
fish on the beach with a couple of overweight drunk gringos behind them with the pangero (who likely did all the damn work anyway) cut off at the neck
and follow it up with 3 paragraphs of scintillating prose describing just how you managed to fool all those fish; MAKE THE PICTURE SMALLER. 'k?

Sure and it works for me. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

David... It's the holidays. Give it a rest.
Doug can/will speak for himself if he so chooses, of that I am certain.
Merry Christmas - really.

I did... in the Announcements forum.
I know you are new here and I am a big advocate of sharing photos and trip reports... anything I post here is not to annoy anyone (well liberals
maybe)... but to inform and help!
Sometimes my words in print don't 'sound' like how I meant them to come across... sorry about that! I am one of the first people here that will root
you to success on Nomad for joining this group and for sharing what you love about Baja...
I am not into 'special, secret places' ! If it is good enough for you to enjoy, then it is a place for other Nomads to enjoy. I do not say you should
share your special places... but I am saying please don't harass people who do choose to share a trip, dirt road or beach.
Thank you...

I don't know that it's a "rule", but Doug posted recently on the subject, with examples:
http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=48576#pid5593...
Actually the maximum file size for photos uploaded to BajaNomad is 50 kb (not mb), but the limit obviously doesn't apply if the pics are hosted at
Photobucket or elsewhere.

Thanks Kate,
It's obvious to me that there are several posters with computer disabilities and Doug did a great job of explaining how to accomplish the
downsize.....however, there is no rule to do so. I much prefer the full size sunset in that thread and hope to see more of those in real life. I'd
suggest that folks with the problems get the instruction to adjust their computers to accept and appreciate the increased detail and visual impact of
these photos rather than try to limit others..........
JMHO....

Still don't see where it is one of the Nomad forum rules---see where Doug posted the problems some have with their computer screens, but please show
where it is a rule in any of Doug's Photo Posting Rules?
May be there, I just can't find it. It was not in that old thread you pulled up in the announcement thread???
Size if using his server is important and he does have rules covering that.
Please---point the way????

You know it's funny because YOU were the first one to reply to Doug's post ASKING us to limit the width to 600 pixels... here is your reply:

Doug,
If the photo is stored on a site like photobucket, I know it should still be no wider than 600 pixels wide, but does it still need to be under 50KB?
If so, I will change the ones I have posted.
Thanks
Diane

=============================================
Just once more... here are your words: "I know it should still be no wider than 600 pixels wide..."
again: "I know it should still be no wider than 600 pixels wide..."
again: "I know it should still be no wider than 600 pixels wide..."
Okay? 
Have a nice day!

At that time I was under the WRONG impression that the framework of this forum would only allow for a photo 600 pixels wide---some are like that and
will crop a photo that is posted that is wider. I was WRONG. It was not until later when I realized that wider was OK.
So now back to the question?

Please,
If it is a rule, I would really like to know that----and I went back and read that thread AGAIN. His first post is referring to HIS server and his
second post is about the limitations of some computers.
So if it is there, I seriously would like to know where? But I think that is the end of the subject---that is unless Doug decides to make it a
rule. It is his call.

If Doug Means (BajaNomad) asks us to not post over 600 pixels wide... and it is HIS forum, then that is good enough for me... Why are you having an
issue with doing what Doug asks...? You are not a newbie here... Let it go, work on the Bahia Asuncion page and you can ask people there how you want
photos to be displayed, if you ever make it into a forum.

the forum would be a more peaceful place if California would have legalized pot!
anywho, please post lots of pics of your pets, and don't worry (about pic dimensions), be happy! (annd go sign up for a medical cannibis )

I find that scrolling across to see photos very tiring and bothersome. When a large photo is in a thread, I have to scroll to read the posts also. I
sometimes just give up on the thread cause the info that might be there just ain't worth all the work.
Like others have suggested, if you want real hires pictures, post a low res for us that don't care with a link to the hi res stuff.

And I much prefer the
sunset that I can see all of without scrolling or messing with my display. 
I know how to maximize windows, change resolution, etc., but I don't wanna, because 99% of sites look just fine with my usual settings. Using
Natalie Ann's analogy, asking me to change them would be like the gallery owner telling the short guy to jump up and down. OTOH, my day isn't normally
ruined if somebody posts a (IMO) too-wide photo. 
When this has come up in the past, the issue has generally been that people don't know how to resize their photos to fit the forum layout. This is the
first time I recall folks saying that they prefer them huge. Interesting ... anyhow, I'm good with the compromise suggested by Santiago. Or
with vertical Jack Daniels style ... something for everybody, no? 
Kate |
Yea Santiago had some very good ideas.
And ya know, there are so many scenes in baja, including so many sunsets that are just so much better in person---they just cannot be captured,
regardless if it is at 300 or 2000 pixels wide.
But now, what would that sunset look like with the vertical Jack Daniels style. ---oh, what a great new genre---Jack Daniels.

I post a lot of pictures and I had it in my mind that the upper limit was 800 pixels. Now I am having guilt pangs, did I screw up a lot of threads?
It is just as easy for me to post at 600 pixels. Doug what is the upper limit?
