A request for those who post photos using Photobucket etc
Please resize the photo to no bigger than "Large" or about 640X480 pixies. When a photo larger than this gets used, it widens out all the responses
and other posts. Unless one has a huge monitor, you have to scroll side-to-side to read anything.
Thanks

YES! PLEASE!
Us poor Nomads with the standard 15" monitors have the page distorted wide to the side if one person in a thread posts a photo greater than 800
pixels....
Below where you click to upload photos (on Photobucket) is some small blue print that reads: "Customize your upload options". Click on that!
The pop up will give you several size options...
these are the lowest half of size options:
100x75
160x120
320x240
640x480
800x600
The 640x480 give 'Large' photos to post on Nomad.
Do not pick bigger than 800x600... I generally only do that size now for the maps, for detail... It fills the Nomad page, but doesn't stretch it.

Just to clarify - monitor size has nothing to do with your page size. It is the screen resolution. Even A 42'' monitor with a 800 x 600 screen
resolution will require horiz scroll on large pics. Monitors made in the last 3 or 4 years use a resolution of 1024 x768 or higher. Right click
anywhere on your desktop >properties or screen resolution to check your settings. Most web sites are designed at 800 px wide to accommodate the
lowest denominator ( 15% of uses) or 1024 px wide which can be viewed by most. That said, Higher resolutions will make your text smaller.
I do agree that pics should be 800 px max width for those still using 800 x 600 on older systems, ipads, notebooks and web books.

What's wrong with stretching the nomad layout? A 640X480 image looks puny on most modern screens. It has zero impact on the viewer. Most photographers
in the gallery forum don't want to look at images that small.

I agree with Igor on this.
A good photograph demands its size and space in order to be enjoyed by the viewer.
If for some that size is too large for their monitor, I suggest you follow Willy's suggestion for changing monitor resolution. It's easy to set up a
little click-it that comes up upon start-up, allows you to toggle back/forth between two resolutions for easy text/picture viewing.
If a short person goes to an art gallery,
he wouldn't ask that the pictures be moved lower so as to be at his eye level.

Unfortunately ....a few of our members here don't have a clue as to what what you guys are talking about! Some folks are plain simply to
say...computer frighten.
In the case you do have computer frights or just cant understand all this stuff about posting pictures.....send your pictures to me and I will resize
and all that stuff... for you the same day. Piece of cake to do.
You'll see my email address in my profiles.

I'm new to this forum and have just posted a few times with 2 photos. Hello to everyone. I looked for a waving smilee but no such luck here.
I post to multiple forums with a common Photobucket account and agree whole heartedly with the above comments. I can't resize just to post here when
those photos go out to my Facebook, AdvRider, ThumperTalk, Gmail and several other sites. All my family and friends have never complained about pic
sizing and I've understood that they appreciate the increased visibility and impact of the larger formats. In fact, my photographer son wants the 10+
megpixel RAW format or he isn't satisfied....
I would hope that those who have computer disabilities would look at improving their resolutions rather than handicapping everyone else........

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?

Two possible answers:
1. Now that picture I would like smaller
or
2. Keep that Jack Daniels out of that man's reach
your choice.

Heck, that size picture made that Jack Daniels bottle jump right off the screen---smaller picture, might have missed it.

Tough crowd.
I am at 1280x1024 also on a 19" flat screen, maybe a year old. Still messed up.

Yup - we passed amateur status long ago....
The 'pantry', such as it is, is behind the picture taker. Chock full of canned goods that we never open.

You guys against keeping them under 800 pixels are overlooking one IMPORTANT thing... Baja Nomad RULES for posting photos.. I guess you haven't
read??? How about playing nice in Doug's playground... A photo over the 800x600 pixel limit HE posted will cause the TEXT to go OFF the screen,
requiring left/ right scrolling of the entire page full of posts, not just to view the one over-sized photo.
Photos on the Internet look great at 600 pixels... You can provide a link to the origial size where ever it is hosted if you want to show off the
giant size image...
Until we all get new equipment and Doug changes the rules... lets be considerate of him and those who have 15" monitors at the standard settings. Okay
amigos?
