Why?
 

:confused: Why on some posts do I have to use the bottom scroll bar to slide back and forth to read/view the whole enchilada? Others are full page and dont require the left and right slide to view but maybe some up and down action.
What's up with that?
Thanks :confused:

Cuz someone posted a *really* large pictures\, which allows the text area to be as wide as the picture.... Really sucks when that happens too...

A large picture will force the margins out.

I'm guilty....
 

Does anyone one know what the widest pixel-width is for a picture so that it doesn't slide the margins out?

It actually depends on the window size of the typical forum reader. I'd say that a width of 640 would probably be fine for most. Most of the image hosting services will offer an auto generated thumbnail - so you can post a smallish image and then the reader can click on it if they want things in hugeovision. ;-)

Thanks a million guys...

Good rule of thumb on image size
 

800 pixels wide = OK to post image full size, IMHO.

Anything bigger I use a thumbnail that links to larger image. Another tip when using thumbnails is (after you put the in) to use the indent button to push 'em in a little to the right - like in this post.

That's what has worked for me, at least :o .

That is annoying. Too bad vBulletin can't resize the big pictures on the fly.
