lordairgtar Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 When I click on a thread here, some pages are the same width as my monitor screen, yet the next thread will have this super wide screen that I have to scroll sideways and back to read the text. Very annoying. Is there anyway to fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotbaker Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 That usually happens if someone posts a pic that is tooooo wide. Or, if there is no carriage return between the pics, then they go side by side. I think one of your posts is like that. You could go back and edit it, and just hit the "Enter" key between each pic. If all pics are kept to about 700 pixles wide, there should be no dramas, and the pic is still large enough for the detail to show up.

Jairus Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Depends on the image size of pictures posted in that thread. We are working an image host program that sizes pictures automatically. Until then, when posting pictures, keep the size to about 150kb. Or... 9 X 7... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTmike400 Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 If I ever make a post that is too wide, I try to correct it immediately. I hate the side scroll too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 If you use Fotki, it automatically sizes them to fit on the screen. Photobucket does not, and they are the main cause of side-scrolling pictures. In fact, I've not seen any other photo hosts make you do that, including some I never heard of before I saw them used. Jairus, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not make them so small you can't see them like Scale Auto does. There's a (few) reason(s) I don't post there, and that is one of the biggest ones.

BKH2 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 I use Picasa to host pictures and have never had a sizing problem when transferring them to PB. Never had one that you had to side scroll to see the whole picture. This is very annoying and distorts the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi BKH2, I would love to make your acquaintance. So, to that end, could you please put your real name in the signature box of your profile section on this board? Then, everyone will be able to say that "I knew him when..."! Thanks. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKH2 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Sorry about that, didn't read the posts asking for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
