| A 3 Board Photo Post Comparison |

Hi All First, This is not about the contents of the photo but about the size. Second, This post was composed with MS Word-pad in Times New Roman 12pt. Third, I used Firefox as my browser while making the screen capture and also making this post. It will be interesting to look at all 3 posts in IE8. Lately (actually for quite a while) photos seem to be all over the place in size. Some posts I just refuse to go any further when I have to wait for the 2048x1536 photos to load. To make matters worse sometimes there are a dozen or more photos. Now the only way to see what is in the photo is to go to the bottom of the page and use the slider to move the photo over then page up to the top, look, go to the bottom again, repeat over and over again getting more frustrated all the time. If all that isn't bad enough, on the 3 main hobby machining boards that I spend my time MadModder, HMEM and MEM I can put up exactly the same post and it will come out different on each of them. I have made a screen capture. The original size is 1024 x 768. I have made copies of it using Photo Re-sizer in 800 x 600 and 700 x 525. I am going to put a copy of each size in this document using photo-bucket and also using the "attachment" process. I will also put a link to the post on each board so that you can compare one against the other and see the difference. Your comments are welcomed and appreciated but please load all 3 posts using the links below so that you can compare one against the other before commenting. Hopefully the end result will be that we can all read the posts without wearing out the page down key and the slider at the bottom of the post. Cheers :) Don Comparison Links MadModder http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,7559.msg81024.html#msg81024 Model Engine Maker http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,607.msg5448.html#msg5448 Home Model Engine Machinist http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/f29/3-board-photo-comparison-18768/#post193975 Photo 1 700 x 575 Photo 2 800 x 600 Photo 3 1024 x 768 Attachments Photo 1 700 x 575 Photo 2 800 x 600 Photo 3 1024 x 768 |

Looks the same here and MEM. Makes sense as we run the same software. HMEM uses something else... I might be able to get a auto resizer. |

Eric I am just getting frustrated at some of the photo sizes that we are seeing so I thought I would do the comparison. The Auto re-size that HMEM has seems to work good. As you can see I attached 3 different sized photo's and they all came out at 700 x 525 which meant they were all on the page without scrolling. The other thing to notice is there is too much white space on the left of the body of the posts thereby shoving everything off the right side of the page. Are there any setting for changing that? I have also got about 1 1/2" of wasted space on each side of the monitor that isn't earning its keep. :lol: :lol: Cheers :beer: Don |

Don, All three boards looked the same to me. No scroll bars. But I've got a wide screen monitor. I have had the scroll bar problem on MEM. I noticed it mostly on Tel's holiday pictures http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php/topic,584.0.html Clicking on the thumbnails expanded the picture, of course, and the scroll bars are at the bottom of his post. I'm sure that Tel's pictures are much larger than 1024 x 768. I'm running Firefox on Linux. Sorry, can't help with IE8. Kevin |

Using IE8, the three embedded via Photobucket look the same size on all three boards: a bit to big for my narrow screen, too big, and very much too big. I can't compare the attachments, becaue I'm not a member of MEM or HMEM. Still in IE8, I find the zoom feature at the bottom right useful when pics are too big for the screen. Going to 75% is usually sufficient, and I can still red the text. I shrink my own photos using MS Paint. Works for me, and saves yet another download. Andy |
