The large images are .... TOO LARGE!. People need to resize pictures to 800 x 600 max. I hate haveing to scroll sideways. Its not my call ... just my opinion.

With digital cameras, you can set the size before you take the picture ... if you don't want to resize it.

RUSSO, can you add some kinda code to limit or resize pictures?

If someone needs to post something the size of a billboard ... they should post a a thumb to imageshack or something.

.... end of rant

Hello, There should be an auto image resizer working on the site - can you post a url where this is goin gon an I'll review the code and see about fixing the image re-sizer

What should happen is the "big" images gets resized to an admin set size and a link is overed laid on to the image so if you want to see the big image it shows in a new window as just the image with no other page content.

I'm sorry this is not workngbut I had no idea.... Sorry

Okay I created a stop gap fix - max image size that will show as image is 680 x 460 anything bigger than that will show a link to a popup image window.

I'm working on the thumbnail image fix later this weekend. Thanks for pointing this out
