Posting large screenshots

[Jonathan]

Lately many large screenshots are included with [img]. That pulls the forum apart, requiring me to scroll horizontally to read messages that aren't filled with premature line breaks. If you want to post a large screenshot, would you either:
- link to it
- scale or crop to 640 wide or something on that order
- use a scaled/cropped version as link to the full image
- post as an attachment; the forum scales in the ugliest way imaginable, but at least it limits the size
- do something else with similar results

Thanks.

I'll try to remember to do that.

a little user CSS might do it:

Code: Select all

.postbody img
{
  max-width: whatever you like;
  overflow: auto;
}

or use the max width on the whole site's <table>(sigh)

Or use opera's fit to width.

That worked, epsy, but it's still a bit of a workaround. It also doesn't reduce traffic for those with weak connections (doesn't affect me, but it's another reason).

What I like about Safari 3 (at least on OS X) is that unlike most browsers, it has decent image scaling. No crappy linear interpolation or even nearest, when you really need a proper band-limiting filter. Did that change in browser land meanwhile?
