Thread: Image Size

The only solution I can see is to disable it completely so anybody who wants to include images in their posts will have to upload them to SRP.

That's what I'm talkin' about ...........

I believe saved images larger than 700 are click-able and open to full size. Hopefully this will prove out.

600


700


1000


3960


hmmm - sorry. I am wrong on that one. Must be another forum.

Yeah, that finds your image online and tells SRP to save and host it itself, so it stays here

You can still turn your attachment into a hyperlink to your highres image (assuming it's online somewhere eg your srp album) with the fancy buttons, but it's a couple of extra clicks

Like this.



Cool.

Thanking you.

How far have we come, I still remember the young skinny Lee who was learning HTML and hardcoding absolute links in the navigation menus

Actually, Lee guided me through the forum administration mess the first time I looked under the hood when nothing made any sense.

Let me see if I get this right. If I upload the image to my SRP album I can make it as large as I want and then link it in a post and it becomes clickable. I presume in order for this to work i would have to make my online albums public viewing.

Ixnay on the downsizing by the Forum....someone on 1/8 had ginormous pics that took up half a page I think. So there may be something rotten in Denmark.

Of course, some people want to put larger pictures by hosting them somewhere else, but I think that they're shooting themselves in the foot because then it messes up the forum layout and overall looks much worse.

I'm an idiot with all of the puter technical speak, settings etc. I'm always jealous when I see the SOTD'ers post those tack sharp huge photos. I'll take a photo download it to my puter think its ok, ship it off to the forum and will be disappointed when it looks small, fuzzy and miserable. I always have photo envy on the SOTD. I always thought that the majority are using far better camera kit then me. Lens's that can photograph the individual hairs on a tennis ball. sniff sniff

You are correct, some folks have camera systems that cost more than me whole accumulation of razors.
I only use a 12mp point and shoot cheapo. Get a tripod or some way to hold the camera steady and then use the timing function of the shutter to take the photo after your hand is away from the camera. Light source is important. and use it to your advantage.
