Two Forum Questions

[PaulG]

1. What is the largest Picture size that does not spread off screen?

2. I am attempting my first build, PMR 5bi, where should I post it,
A Work in Progress or Engines From Castings?

Thanks in advance, Paul

A good size for forum posting is 800 x 600 pixels. Here's an example of a photo at that size...

I believe, but could be wrong, that Photobucket will automatically resize larger pictures to this size when uploaded. The problem with that (assuming it works as stated) is you have to wait for very large pictures to upload. On a high speed connection you might not care but it could become objectionable on lower speed lashups.

Far easier is to resize the pictures before uploading them. There are numerous tools on the web to perform this task. I use PIXresizer from:

and am happy with it but use that with which you're comfortable.

If you're going to chronicle your build of the PMR engine, WIP is probably the appropriate place.

Thank's Marv

I was trying to find a size that fits the space without using the scroll bar at the bottom of the stack. Thanks for link, I'll play with it bit.
