Here we are then kids, what resolution are you viewing in?

We are considering upping the max size of images to 800pixels so we want to make sure its what we all want, so lets 'ave ya!

No your not m8, I spend about 50% of my time here on my laptop, which i have set at 1024, the rest of the time on my main PC and the res is higher.

Since I know the reason for the pole, i'm voting on something that'll still look good on both screens 8)

Well I run the desktop at 1024 X 768, but I need glasses to go to the bogs now. :cry:

However I do like to save pics at 1280 X 1024 and do Powerpoint full screen slide shows at that res with a suitable bit of classical music in the CD Drawer. Also I tend to work at full res on big restoration jobs, so I wouldn't be too phased if we went bigger.

Hello!

I view the forum 80% of the time in my 15" Powerbook, at 1280 x 854.

And some times when I log in at the office, I have my mac there at 1280 x 1024.

Cheers!

I'm running 1280x960 - correct 4:3 ratio

Great news if you change the image width rule. I assume you are changing the filesize rule too (because that is just as annoying!) I'll certainly post more photos if these rules get changed. I understand that it is expensive to increase them, so no worries if it doesn't happen.

we are indeed going to change the size rules, not sure what filesize size, but max pixels on the longest length will be 800pixels

Great news and thanks, helps enormously as I only upload svga to my website. Hopefully we should see members photos in even more glorious detail from now on.

cheers,

I'm glad someone else brought this up!!!

1280x960 is 5:4... it;'s wrong... all your pics are too wide. Don't belive me? Shoot a ball.. load pic onto PC... look at it on a 1280x1024 screen... it will be vertically squashed. The only exception to this is LCD screens with non-square pixels. Not ALL monitors do tho... so test it out. If your ball pic is looking vertically squashed at 1280x1024, then you should be running in 1280x960. If you have a CRT monitor, then you DEFINITELY should NOT use 1280x1024.. ever.

That's great! Thank you! I think the new sizes are more than reasonable.
