Hey Lumpy,

Don't know exactly what you are trying to do, but all the pix are exactly the same on my monitor.

Look at the far right side of the pics. Compare the fence post toward the rear of the van with pics of larger resolution. The physical size of the pixels the pics occupy remain the same. But the amount of pic placed into that allowed width changes. ie the fence post begins to disappear from the pic. On the larger size pics, you're required to click on the image, or the magnifying glass in upper left corner, to see the pic at full size.

What resolution monitor are you viewing with, Bob?

For that matter, anyone, what resolution monitor are you using to view the pics in the forum?

Ummmm......you're just showing off the new tires. :poke:

I have just come to accept that the photo layout blows. The "other site" somehow gets it right and I don't think they have a computer programmer running it. Strange. :confused:

Concentrated on all the pics again, looking at the fence posts. Honestly, ALL the pics are exactly the same. I have an AOC flatscreen

that measures 20" diag. 1680 x 1050 is what the control panel tells me. (NVIDIA video card).

The first pic is 2048 wide. On your 1680 wide monitor, you see the same fence post on the far right? Do you see the little magnifying glass in the upper left corner? Can you click on the pic and it blows up to full 2048 wide size? If/when you do, is everything still in the pic only larger?

I'm viewing these on an HP 24" monitor set to 1920X1080. All of the pix have the full image, with the post etc. As I scroll down the page your pix get slightly smaller, ever so slightly. The first few are clickable to enlarge and the rest do not. The image quality gets worse with each pic as you go down. I'm not sure how you did that but I don't think it's what you were shooting for.

:confused:

The degrade in image quality is expected. I simply resized and resized at 72dpi several times. I was only concerned with the width of the image.

Do you see any of the magnifying glasses in the upper left corner of the images? And/Or what happens when you click on the top image (the widest format pic)?

What happens when you view it with your phone?

Am I really going to have to go out and spend a few hundred dollars on a mega wide monitor just to see one site?

Here's what I'm seeing at 1280x1024, a resolution that is too high for my 19" monitor but here's what it looks like anyway -

Image

If you can even see it (I can't really see it on my monitor) there's a little magnifying glass in the upper left corner of the UPPER pic.

Both pics (all pics) take up only half of the screen. The rest of the width is simply dead space. Why not make that dead space available to the most important part of this forum, THE PICS!

Give control of the pic spacing to the viewer's browser instead of lock it into the style sheets or html code. Let the total width become as wide as the pics define it to be. That way EVERYONE, with any resolution monitor, could see the pics full size. The dead space or whatever is at the top of the dead space column, would still be there. It would just be scrolled to the right. If the viewer felt it necessary to quickly view a list of "Sponsors" he/she could scroll over and view that list.

Austin, I appreciate the work you've done. But I really feel like you're setting up the site for some built in limits. THAT will not encourage newcomers and may very well drive away existing users.

This is very frustrating for me. I find it very hard to believe that I'm the only one that thinks pics should be allowed to take up more of the posting page.

The pics are worth a ten thousand words, sized the way they are, or enlarged. I don't see anything particularly demeaning

that needs fixing. IMO, honestly. My only wish is that I had the same capability as youse guys do to post pics and graphics.

Maybe when pigs fly.

Don't really want to stir the pot here but if the user set the limit left to right it would be a very slow load opposed to trunked standard size pics (especially with multiple HI RES images) also hard to navigate. Depending on your browser you can right click to view the image full size for instance firefox has this ability. Google Chrome and IE don't have the right click "view image" option.

Mozilla and chrome in this sites instance both display (on magnify) the large pic with a vertical scroll but no horizontal scroll although the horizontal may be out of the view of my 1280X800. IE is its own animal and just displays the large pic in the viewing area based on screen size no zoom.

Its been a while since I made a website but I think a compromise would be a pan feature on the popup for large images instead of an exit on click and or the ablility to open the image to a new window free of any CSS html. Regardless I know how hard it can be to maintain image display continuity (from experience) between all the browsers and users with different monitor resolutions.
