What's the generally accepted size for posting pics on this forum? I'd like to share on this forum.

Regards

640 X 480 will do. So will 800 X 600. The smaller size works OK on older VGA machines, but most folks today have the capability of viewing the larger size. And some of us can view full size 3 megapixel images with no problem, but those are still in the minority. Anyway, the 800 X 600 is what I normally use for general internet sharing. It's a good mix of viewable size and small file size. Many folks are still on dialup, so the smaller sized image files load faster for them.

IMHO, every person who posts a photo wider than 800 pixels should be sentenced to one month of using a laptop on a dialup connection.

Junior,

I agree, I did not want to subject any of our dialed-up friend to long load times. BTW I enjoy your articles on 30-30 cast bullet loads.

Regards,

Troy

I'd go a step further and say "An Old 286 IBM Laptop with monochrome CGA..."

Sorry Junior, I got my son to figure it out for me! Hope this size don't git up yer craw!

I have also resized the photos on my previous posts.

Beware the dreaded "Red X"!

Many forums have the size limit posted at about 600 or 650 maximum.
Resolution settings are also as important as size.

1894, I forgot to thank you for the info.

Tom - one of my favorite of your moving smiley's!

Say, does anyone know which picture you should use when using Photobucket? I think the ones I use may be too large, and I don't want Junior to come after me!!!

I like to size my pics with Irfanview to 640x480. They work fine like that.

Ok.. not picking on you, just using you as an example

ref: resolution, and optimization.

Your photo above is 264K in size.

These are optimized for the web.

Thanks cas, I'll get there eventually.

Like my signature says " unspoilt by progress " I guess that says it all!!
