Andy Thanks for the reply and your comments. They are appreciated. --- Quote from: andyf on August 29, 2012, 03:52:17 AM ---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. --- End quote --- That is about the same way as I see it for MadModder and MEM. HMEM used different software and automatically scales them down to 700 x 575 if they are over that size from photo-bucket. That is why they may have that yellow header on them to click on to expand them --- Quote ---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. --- End quote --- I usually use FireFox but sometime use IE8. When I do I like to run it at 100% as it is easier for these old eyes to read --- Quote ---I shrink my own photos using MS Paint. Works for me, and saves yet another download. --- End quote --- I have been using FastStone Photo Re-sizer which is free and fast. Once it is set up which is easy you can re-size and watermark probably 50 or more pictures in a couple of minutes. --- Quote ---Andy --- End quote --- Cheers :beer: Don |

I found HMEM's "auto-resizer" to be a pain in the arse mainly; I don't think it actually applies any intelligence to resizing a photo, I've seen them where you click on the yellow header & the photo gets a few pixels wider. Of course, where it IS useful is when the original is 3000+ pixels wide.... I'll have a look to see if there's something for MEM, & will share with Eric what I find - I'm sure he'll do the same if he spots one sooner than me. |

I think what happened there was the photo size that was loaded was 800 x 600. The automatic re-sizer brought it down to 700 x 525. When you clicked the yellow header it took it up to original size of 800 x 600. If the original size had been 1400 x 1050 then it would have doubled in size when clicking on the yellow header. --- Quote ---I'll have a look to see if there's something for MEM, & will share with Eric what I find - I'm sure he'll do the same if he spots one sooner than me. --- End quote --- I guess what I am looking for is probably the holy grail. I would just like to leave my monitor setting alone and be able to go from post to post and forum to forum and be able to have the text large enough to read and the photo's all on the page to see without having to change settings. I don't want to have to zoom every photo to see it at a reasonable size. By the same token I don't want to have to shrink a photo just so it will fit the monitor. I would also like what works for me in this respect to work for you and everyone else even though we all have different equipment. This may be wishful thinking but I keep hoping. I have found a couple of things that might work but am still looking. I will share them with you and Eric via PM when I get them all together. Cheers :beer: Don |

This would be harder for in-line photos (but not impossible), where it would get as good as impossible is when you get into tables. I don't know if SMF uses HTML tables (a quick squint at the source of this page suggests not, but I didn't look very hard), if it does then we're back on a hiding to nothing; if not, well, who knows... Unfortunately, I've got a seriously busy time at work just now, and as soon as I've scoffed me tea I'm down here at the workshop trying not to fry my shiny(ish) new(ish) cnc mill - hmm, if I plug them both in at the same time, I might be able to make them toast each other :beer: :palm: |

Good luck getting that CNC going. Cheers :beer: Don |
