Pictures showing up too big?

Post by Tritone » Wed Jan 14, 2015 12:12 am

I keep seeing pictures like this:

Are pictures not automatically resized or something? Is this an issue with only me/only my browser (Safari)?

It's not just you/your browser, I don't think they are automatically resized.

If you upload anything to imgur you can resize it easily on there.

you want to aim for no more 900px, 800px works well. 640px wide is the standard for forums, though this forum can go over comfortably.

Thanks for the quick replies.

But jeez, this is 2015, pretty much every other BBS has worked around this kind of thing already.

On a computer this site always looks fine, but on my phone I get what you're showing. But I think it's just because this site isn't optimized for small screens. But other wise I have no problems.
I finally finish building a guitar, go to play it, and then remember, "oh yeah, that's right. I suck at playing... Why did I build another guitar again?"

I'll just check with the boys down in the computer lab. They got four more programmers working on the case. They got us working in shifts.

;D


I think I've fixed it now. If anyone notices images behaving weirdly, let us know.

Please keep in mind that even though images are now automatically resized, huge pics are still huge, and take a long time to load. So, do all the people browsing from their phones or via slow internet connections a favor, and don't make a habit of posting full size images.
