Went to pick up our TT this weekend. Bringing it back from its winter break. The wind was strong but we made it home okay. Excited for our first trip at the end of the month.

Not exactly correct... You can set your preferences in Photobucket (I use it too) and resolution can vary from the smallest photo at 100 x 75 resolution all the way up to 2048 x 1456 resolution... There are a total of 9 different available resolutions including the two listed above... If you had set your upload preferences to 640 x 480, then you would be sized correctly for this forum...
While I agree the forum should do more things automatically, the fact is, it doesn't - so the best way to resize is using the text statement "width=640" I mentioned previously...

Thanks Sidewayzz. The megacab is great. We have a family of five and needed something with space and the ability to tow. The megacab diesel fit the bill nicely. The trailer weighed in at 5500 pounds the first time I weighed it. Since then I've loaded maybe 400 additional pounds of stuff. Real nice trailer, I recommend the 28BRS Northtrail as well as the 2500 turbo diesel. This will be my first season with this set up. Looking forward to getting up into the Rocky Mountains.

On my laptop, any picture larger that 640px wide causes me to have to scroll left and right on every post on the page. That is one reason you see so many "edited by" posts. I need a larger font so my old eyes can see the screen so please don't tell me to use a different screen resolution. I am using 1280x800 now. The 640px limit works just fine for me and produces a picture large enough for all to see in my opinion.

Love the truck!!! Thats what I would love to replace my current TV with. Not that I don't love my Excursion, but I want a diesel PU and I want that extra space that the mega cab offers. I just have to wait another 5 years until the used ones start dropping to my price range, well that and I can pay off my wife's Yukon (I hate that thing)...

640x### requires scrolling on a 1280x800 res screen? Sounds like a browser zoom setting issue to me, not a resolution issue.
Like most of us, this is by far NOT the only forum we post and I often share the same photo on other forums. You're asking us to create a special format/resolution just for this site? Duplicating pictures on the host site?
And FYI - Every picture I upload to Photobucket is converted 800x450 and that is what I originally uploaded. I cannot change this on my free account, thats what Photobucket does on its own. (I can reduce it though...AFTER the fact)
I'm sorry guys, but I think you are over due for some changes or personal adjustments. You're pushing an old school rule that prevents nice resolution pictures on here, to the point you are posting threats about breaking forum rules and locking threads. Is this just cause for such uproar, really???
The moderator already stated the reasons why, modem users were among them, as well as not all people choose to run resolutions sutiable for viewing pictures larger than 640x480.
It sounds like they believe they have a fair compromise that suits the *majority* of the users. Who are we to tell them how to run their own website? How do you know that if you were given the ability to decide on your own preferred resolution that this wouldn't cause more issues than the way it is now?

Nope, not a resolution issue. As you are aware, I'm sure, there is an area on the left of the text for your screen name etc. and there is also an area on the right side of the text for the advertising block. When the photo size is larger than 640px wide, it causes me and others to scroll to read the text.
Like most of us, this is by far NOT the only forum we post and I often share the same photo on other forums. You're asking us to create a special format/resolution just for this site? Duplicating pictures on the host site?
Nope again! All we are asking you to do is put "width=640" or some lesser value in before the final img if you are typing in your own code, or to make it simpler just put 640 into the "width" box when using the picture posting icon while making a post. Should only take you a second or less to do that. Doesn't seem too labor intensive or intimidating to me!

We have given our reasons for enforcing the rule and we have no way of changing the forum software. As has already been mentioned, we spend a LOT of our time re-sizing pictures in order to save the post. It would be a whole lot easier to just hit the delete key and get rid of the post. Which would you prefer?
