| So, firstly I am not a computer geek so use simple language! When I look at pages with pics they are often cut short on the right hand side as I look at it, my recent FS post for example, any suggestions? |

| I believe it is just just a problem with how the forum display pictures! nothing you can do will fix it. we just have to wait for SCUK2 and hope it fixes it |

| if you upload a picture that is less than the width for the text it will look fine, if you upload a pic that is wider it will stretch the text to the width of the pic and hide some of it too! |

I noticed that, but thought it was an Opera thing so didn't post about it... (knowing I'm in the minority using Opera)
i think it's because of the recent pic-resizing code Dunx added. Previously a large image would add scroll-bars to the frame so you view the full image, but think ppl complained that it made all the replies a pain to read or something. Believe he's added code to auto resize the image down to prevent these scroll-bars. Problem is, I think the text wraps at the width of the original image, so disappears off to the right in the post with the image.
classic example:
http://www.snowboardclub.co.uk/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-43825.html
can see all the text if you group select it and copy & paste it into the reply box, so the text is all there, just visually cropped... |

Weird! My pics are always the correct size, ie 640 or below as stated in the 'rules' so if it should be smaller then why not change it and tell us?  |

It seems to me the new code just prevents the forum text box from resizing, while any pix wider than the fixed 540 pixel width will still bleed out of the box and cause the text to bleed off with it.
Despite the 'rules' elsewhere saying pix should be 640 pixels wide they should now be 540 (or even better 530) pixels wide to fit in the column width. I guess the specs for the pix elsewhere still needs to be updated.
I'm sure everything will be fixed come SCUK2  |

| It was 640. It changed to 540 some time ago (and we had a lengthy discussion about it then). I changed the site recently to truncate huge pictures - some were over 1000 pixels wide and made the forum unusable. The forum will probably be full width for SCUK2 and use a few different methods for viewing pictures. If you want to see the full pic now, then just right click > view picture. |

| 530 I can do! Didn't know anything about that before, for your info though, when you try and post a pic bigger than 640 it still tells you that 640 is the biggest size and/or when you click The link for allowed formats and sizes via the new post page it says nothing about the size at all, hence the confusion!! |

I didn't change the published sizes on purpose as this was only an interim layout change. Confusion keeps you on your toes  |

| I can't even remember where it says 640. Any idea? It's not anywhere obvious I can find, so not sure whether updating anywhere it might be would have any affect at all. Even if I told people, they'd still post huge pictures. |

Yeah, its a shame the 'system' just doesn't not post em. When I try and post a pic over 640 it wont let me, it comes up telling me that I cant.
If your open to suggestions its always been difficult to find out what size a pic can be, no real source of info on it. Would be ideal to have an easy to find page which specifies in easy (for people like me) to understand the file size and pixel size of pics and Avatars, then we have no excuse.  |

I'll try to hack the code and put some info somewhere sensible.
It's not just uploaded pictures though as you can include links to pictures and they can be any size. They're the main reason I decided to truncate. |
