I must add that I don't really like having to click on the small photos in some folks posts to see them full size. --- End quote --- Arbalist, maybe you already know this, but that's a function of how they are uploaded, and to where, rather than the camera used. The thumbnail images you see in some posts are generated by forum software when you upload an image directly to the forum -- and it is over a certain size (relatively small). The full size images you see in other posts, without having to click on them, are images 800 x 600 or smaller (I prefer 640 x 480 or 480 x 320) that are uploaded somewhere OFF of the forum (like Photobucket, in my case) and then linked back into a post body using IMG tags. They really aren't actually on the forum, they just appear to be when displayed in a post. |

Yes, I'm aware that large images aren't stored on the forum, just saying I don't like having to click on small images to see them full size. I actually downsize and export images at 1000 px wide, Photobucket then resizes to 800 px. I think it's a really good idea to have the images stored on the site, just wish they could be displayed at 800 px wide without having to click on them. I also wish the site could be set up to prevent uploads of pictures that are too large to view easily. Not seen any forum yet that's got picture hosting/viewing 100% right but it's something to aim for! |

It's very rarely, I click on a thumbnail pic. Usually, I can make out most of what I need to see....... :thumbup: David D |

It's located in Board Configuration>Attachment Settings. There may be other reasons for not doing so -- bandwidth is one of them since it adds to costs. Especially with spiders and crawlers repeatedly combing and indexing info, bandwidth can get pumped up needlessly if settings aren't carefully thought out. One way to keep band width down without thumbnails Is to keep set a low byte count for photos -- say under 100k -- that forces people to reduce upload file sizes and a good 640 or 480 pixel wide jpg can usually easily be kept within that limit. That's plenty to see a good quality image, and a lot larger than a thumbnail. |
