Picture Size...
Admin, I understand that you wish to keep pics to 2.5 MB or smaller. Is there a way to physically size the pictures to something closer to 640 x 480? As it is, when I use the attachment feature, my aging eyes sometimes find it difficult to see all features of the pic such as lettering or captions on an uploaded pic. Thanks.

Not sure exactly what you mean... if someone attaches a picture that's, say 1600x900, it will post it in a thumbnail that's fairly small and you can click on it to increase the resolution.

Re: Picture Size...
I understand & perhaps I'm too lazy but in the old forum it was not necessary to view pics in full resolution/size. One did not have to shuffle between multiple windows to view one single post.

Re: Picture Size...
So you're asking for a thumbnail to be 640x480?
That's untenable, really - because it will result in long load times for topics that may have a lot of attachments or pics. That doesn't preclude a user from just hyperlinking to it on their own at any size they want up to the max of 1600x1600.
This isn't different from the old forum (at least when I ran it), except that I think the previous owner did away with the ability to even upload pics, so they had to be hosted elsewhere to post them.
Here, users have both options. If you want to see a pic in greater resolution, just click on it to open and the use the back button to go back, or right-click and open in a new window.
