Seeing as though you took 2 of our smiley's....

.....can we have something in return?

Can't you make it so people can't post pictures any bigger than standard message board size? *insert missing confused smiley* It's really really really (yes that much) annoying.

Or if they are bigger, can they be displayed as a thumbnail or something?

You have the option from the "User CP" to block Signatures, Avatars and Images.

Hey folks,

Sounds like a techie solution is needed for this - we'll get the dev team to look into it.

Cheers

Just my 2p ...

Should really be done by the poster themselves imho

- either using "picture resize" type software on their own PC,

- or by using the facilities on the host sites, like Photobucket, Flickr etc.

The rolling eye smiley and confused smiley is missing. I want it back do you hear? :shhh:

No, but if big pics are so annoying it is a simple solution which avoids them troubling the OP without reducing the enjoyment others may get from looking at big ones.

You're presuming a degree of technical knowhow that some of us just haven't got. (Speaking as a former culprit of oversized pictures.:o - getting the picture on in the first place was a major achievement.)

Was it just me peering at it to see if everyone was decent?

Believe me, I am as far removed from being a techie as can be.

Even reading the details in this link causes severe anxiety (NOT true, lol).

It is a small programme which allows you to resize a photo
- very very simply
- you choose the photo on your PC,
- you right click on it,
- you choose the size you want from a menu that pops up
- and you get a second copy of the photo now at the size you want
- VIP - the original stays intact.

- You can then
- upload that resized version to the various hosting sites
- and don't need to use their facilities for resizing
- or
- just post direct to MSE
- using the "insert" photo symbol
- when you use "go advanced"


- and it's good for use in e-mails.

MSE Feature - the software is free.

PS:
This is for those on Windows XP
Don't know about Vista or Windows 7.


PPS:
May also help those inclined to peering :A
