I thought they were too small before. Now they are terrible.
Does GB read ARF on a 15" CRT? There are so many great photography threads on ARF. Typically gun or aviation, BOTD. Here is what they look like on my not all that large 24" monitor...  Why not give us a user setting so that we can disable this? Or, barring that, a lesser improvement would be to make them into links to the original full sized image. |

Not a fan. I'm having to make extra clicks to see the detail that I was able to see previous. Not only an extra click but it takes me away from the sight.

Probably saves a few $$$ on data transfer/server costs,
but is definitely not a plus under 'site improvements' tho. BOTD really went in the shitta with this fix. Was this announced, or did it just 'happen'.?? ETA - scrub that bit on the data transfer, as all images have to be hosted elsewhere, anyway. So I cannot figure out the reason for this backwards 'improvement'.  |

The previous 800 pixel width limit was right on the ragged edge of readable for tables, graphs, slides, and so forth.
The new 500 pixel limit is terrible. I feel like swinging a cactus. |

Goatboy, here's a suggestion.....
Put the images inside a post block Div, and then make the div xx%, and then make the image "responsive" ...at least, that's what one of our developers told me. |

The new picture format really degrades my enjoyment of surfing around the forum. The default picture size as it now stands is far too small the resolution most modern monitors are capable of.
The concept of a standardized picture size is not new and for what it is worth I understand it, but would hope the powers that be are just experimenting and the picture resolution will return to some larger more reasonable size. The avatar sizes appear to be stretched versions of the originals now as well though I could just be imagining that. I would just assume those stay smaller. Just my 2 cents. |

I don't understand why you can't use responsive formatting, to make the image fit the screen size.

what defines a picture thread? the word "picture" is in the subject line? how about in the tech forums, where folks may want to reply with a closeup of feedramp damage or some such? you have to get the OP to put "picture" in the subject line? the simple solution is to downsize images *only* for mobile users. this is easily tagged off of the browser's request -- the server then knows how wide the monitor is in pixels. presenting a 500 pixel wide image to everyone is retarded. or we can just train the mobile users not to click on threads with images.
