Don,

In looking at your screen captures, it appears that your screen resolution is pretty low by today's standards. I'm running 1920 x 1080 at home on a monitor that actually measures 20"W x 11.25"H, and probably a bit higher than that at work. I rarely find that I have to scroll images on posts. Though I do agree that some are a bit extreme, my upper tolerance would seem to be higher than yours. Depending on your preferences for text size, you may find that moving to a bigger monitor will make your web experience more enjoyable.

Not so much when you think that many people are moving to tablets and phones for browsing the web and forums. Scrolling around large photos for those is a real bind, or you can pinch-zoom but then you can't read the text.

I find 800x600 to be ideal for most photos, in terms of both viewing size and file size. I think it's justifiable to put up a high res photo of really fine work you're trying to showcase or showing small detail or perhaps a drawing, but otherwise it's a bit of a waste. Large but grainy photos are especially annoying.

You do bring up a good point, Pete. However, this is one of the main reasons why I haven't given in to the world of "smart" phones and tablets yet.
