Please guys, make your pics SMALLER

[Virginia]

Please take pity on those of us with laptops and dialup connections and make your pics a little smaller. I have to scroll sideways to see most of them and it just takes away the pleasure of looking. :)

I use tinypic.com and if you just leave the default size, it will give you these enormous pics, as I found when originally posting my thread about the Aldila and C-6.

You can use the drop down box to select the message board size of 640x480 and that's really quite good enough to get a good look. You don't really need to have a gigantic image to appreciate its content.

I agree... 800x600 is perfect. Anything larger is a bit of a pain.

Here's a pic that is 800 pixels wide.

How is this for size?

nice racquet...I have one just like it. Never hit with it bacause it is almost brand new condition. How does it play?

it actually plays really nicely, not as nice as the ps 85, but still worth a hit.

I'm using a 32" LCD (Vizio) and with resolution set at max and I still find pictures some post too large.

I have two of them. It's great for slices at the net and forehand ground strokes. Backhand requires a little bit more power to hit over the net.

for me, there's a lot of blank space because i got the 25.5" HP touchsmart PC and my resolution is set at 1280 x 800.

Could someone please educate me. How do you paste an image in a post?

When you post there is an "Insert Image" button. In the little box that appears you enter the http:// URL of your image. If you have the image on your PC you first need to upload it to a site on the web. Many here use tinypic.com as it is free and easy and as Virginia points out there is a "message board" size option. You can then link as above to the image you've uploaded

Personally, I prefer the larger size. Using Mozilla Firefox I never actually see the photos, all I get is the link. If it's a photo I want to see I'll follow the link. If it isn't, I just move on. That comes in very, very handy when people quote a post but don't stop to think that they're also quoting any attachments that might have been included.
