Posting messages with pictures

[cleanteamofny]

I know this sounds so strange, but it is a little bothersome posting pitures and reading the messages that are posted by scrolling left to right when it could be done by resizing the photo on your hard drive to small before linking to the message board. I believe and hope that 97% of the club members are running Windows XP and utilize this great feature. I Just want to help improve the quality of viewing of pictures and reading messages on this great website.

I am using Windows 98 and the same thing happens though It seems a browser rendering thing and maybe has to do with screen resolutin too, rather than a OS problem IMHO. I agree though it is a minor irritant.

Left-right scrolling also depends on the monitor resolution. 1024x768 less often results in horizontal scrolling than does 640x480 or 800x600.

IE 6 (and maybe 5 and/or 5.5) includes a fuction that automatically scales display of images to fit the screen. Tools / Internet Options / Advanced tab / Multimedia section / Enable Automatic Image Resizing. Personally, I don't like that to be enabled as it can make large images look wonky.

I agree with Glenn, the best way to prevent having to scroll horizontally to see most pictures is set your monitor to display at 1024 x 768 or even higher. I use 1280 x 1024 on both my home and work monitors which are 17". At first the text seemed a bit small, but quickly I got used to 1280 x 1024 and now I love it. Most pictures I can the entire image on the screen without having to scroll.

1280x1024

That's the recommended resolution on LCD flat panel monitors. If you reduce the resolution it makes the pixels look fuzzy.

That's what I'm using and it's very easy on the eyes.

 

[DADoES]

LCD panels have a 'native resolution' at which they perform best. Higher and lower resolutions have to be internally scaled to compensate, which causes the fuzziness.

Resolution

I use a 17" flat set to 1280x1024 and I have to scroll left to right on Thread#242 Vacuum lovers chk this out, The fourth massage by Programcomputer so Larry may be right with the photo resizing instead of resolution.
