Photo size in pick up thread

[Leon]

Hey folks
When posting in the new pick up threads please be aware of your scan size. If they are real big then as time goes that thread gets more cumbersome. I will resize them sometimes so please don't take offense. It's not personal.

Also, another board hint, if you aren't seeing 80 posts on your screen, on ONE page when viewing a thread, go to your user control panel and change it from whatever number is there (I think 10 or 20 posts) to 80. Your viewing pleasure will be enhanced. I chuckle when I see longtime members say they are on page 3 of a 40 post thread......that should be page 1. (if you don't want to turn so many pages)

What is the preferred hot size when posting? I usually reduce my photos to a smaller size, but I suspect I don't reduce them enough. Thanks.

If you use the board "manage attachments" and upload them there then it does it for you. The largest size there is about 75k-80k as a finished product. If you look at the most current Oct thread, the very first post/scan (Goudey Ott) is one I resized. If they are approximately that size then it helps everyone.

One other hint, even though someone said there might be a default in our s/w to add the "sent to" PM message box, as a default, there isn't. It takes about 5 seconds to go add one from your user control panel. I recommend everyone doing it. Then when you want to see what you sent you can. If you don't set it up you won't have a sent box......just a hint to make the experience on the board a little better. And yes, there are a ton of things we could upgrade but these few things are ones everyone can do on their end and very easily.

Hi Leon,

Is there any way to edit the size of pictures when they are posted from links? I don't have scanner access and usually will pull from the eBay auction or from my photo bucket account. Unfortunately, those tend to be very large images.

Thanks,

Chris
