A continuation of CEE DOG's thread here:http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/38440-your-input-please-your-benefit.html

I want to get a vote of what size pictures people are able to see / enjoy seeing in posts.

Note that you have the option to set the threshold when the forum re-sizes pictures by clicking on 'Quick Links' -> 'Edit Options' -> and scrolling down to the options on resizing pictures as shown below:

It would be a good idea to set the horizontal size to be your screen width minus 500 pixels or so to account for banners on the AG site.


Now onto the voting:

I use fairly large pictures in my reviews and posts, and I would like to know which size the majority of you are happiest with seeing. I will break them down as Small (S) Medium (M) Large (L) extra-large (XL) extraextra-Large(XXL) Huge(H) [not going to bother posting an original sized image].

Large is good for me.

XL is not too bad, but I do have to start to horizontal scroll with the XL.

XL or XXL although with the autosizing enabled its nice to be able to blow up the ones you really want detail on.

I always thought that this would be a no brainer... If the file size of the photo submitted is > than X then scale accordingly to the maximum size allowable.

Nice free photo re-sizer here
