View towards my Mums house!

Lough Money car park Liam, there's a gate beside the lough shore, up a wee hill past an old cow byre and then on up the hill, just follow the track to the top, there is a pumping station, bear right here then up a wee steep bit to the top

Cracking views there Redspud.

Is it just me or does everyone else have to scroll left and right to see the full pictures?  Is it something I can change myself or are they just big pictures?

They are looking fine here, no scrolling needed, must be your screen resolution width is lower than the width of the forum + pictures.

Try holding CTRL down while rolling your mouse wheel. That will allow you to zoom out a bit to see the whole photos.

I use Faststone Photo Resizer before uploading to Photobucket  ;D

http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm

Generally 800 x 600 or 640 x 480 works well for forums.

TEST - This pic is 800 x 600.



This is 640 x 480.

TBH redspud's pics are perfect (and preferable) for me. The 640x480 only fills half my screen (but I'm sitting behind a 22" monitor at 1680x1050)

When I try it, it makes the writing smaller but still have to scroll with the pics! Also one of my smilies has been replaced with a picture of a pie chart!

Suppose it's dependent on screen size. I visited one website and they had a very strict policy on pic sizes  :o  So much so that if you posted the wrong in the size it got deleted  ::)

The CTRL scroll works a trick; I use it a lot with spreadsheets, etc. never thought about on a browser.

Tip of the day  ;D
