After being away for a few days I'm trying to catch up and read old posts.
Seem like all the charts (images) that Karel has modified are very small and I can't see them.... Is it just me? Is there a trick I need to know to see these images?
Just click'em, and you'll see them in all their glory. If they don't, I did something wrong. Just send me a PM or email.
I don't know about this site, but on one site I know, 800x600 screens are 25% of the total. Why people are posting images that make the text in posts run off the right of the screen even on a 1024x768 display, really, really beats me. Whenever I find one that does, I thumbnail it. Hint: that makes the maximum width about 640 pixels.

Karel,
I noticed that some of mine are running off to the right sometimes. I use image shack to upload to here and have tried to get the thumbnails instead of the larger size images but haven't been able to get it right. Can you or anyone explain what to do or how to go about getting the thumbnail size image, once I have hosted there, over to here. Could use a hand with it please.
- take care your image isn't too big. Make the window from which you make the capture less wide, or resize the image after capturing (loss of quality)
- if you really need all that space, post a link to the thumbnail. After an upload to imageshack, the first three links on the page are for thumbnails. Click in the second one, hit Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V where you want to paste it. Just click; this selects all the link text.
Imageshack shows the thumbnail with the dimensions after uploading. If the first is 640 or lower (well, perhaps 650), you don't need to post a thumbnail link, but you can use the first link of the second bunch.

Ski, for resizing try irfanview, a free image program.
Just before saving your image, press Ctrl+r keys and resize the image by checking the 640x480 box as show or manually entering the numbers as shown.
For your MM post, get the imageshack hotlink called "Hotlink for forums (1)"
