Heh a microscope  The reason for the high resolution is becuase my laptop is widescreen which unique to other laptops, where as if i run my laptop in say 1024x768 like i would on a normal CRT Desktop moniiter it doesn't look right and big as well. As 1920x1600 is designed for widescreen.
go to http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspn_8600_au?c=au&l=en&s=dhs for more information.

Except that there is maybe 200 pixels on the left hand side of the screen used for the poster's information, plus the borders around the various bits of the page, meaning you probably only have 1750 pixels available for an image. I am certain there were some posted in the last few days which were indeed 2000 pixels wide - so even with your wonderful sounding laptop, you would still have to scroll to see all of the image. |
Bit of a hint, if you are using IE6, drag the image into the address bar, and it will appear as the only object in your browser window - at the same time, it will resize to be 100% viewable.

The problem being though, that the image is still on the page which makes the table wider to compensate, thus meaning that text will wrap off the screen, meaning you have to scroll to see every line.
Perhaps people could consider just providing a link in these cases?

Perhaps people might just like to consider resizing the image so it can be seen on one single screen. After all, not too many images are printed in books in such a way that you need to go to four pages in order to see the whole thing.
A pox on 5Mp cameras used at full resolution - it's wonderful for images to be printed, but the images are too big for monitors.

I have the gif, I have permission to use it, I've saved it to my PC; this may sound like a dumb-ish question, but how do I get it into my siggy? Taking into account all of the previous posts on this subject, the gif is not of an "obtrusive" size; I'm just not sure what and/or how much info I have to enter into the signature box in my profile so the gif will appear.

You need to upload it to somewhere and then use the [ img ] tag. Click on post and hover your mouse over the Img button for syntax information.

Upload it to somewhere? Where? You lost me at the last crossing loop, Webslave  I already have the gif saved in My Pictures - if using the "url" syntax, must that include the "http etc etc" or is merely the gif's file name sufficient?

You need to have some webspace on the internet to upload it to, just having it on your machine isnt enough. An example would be something like http://www.myserver.com/mypics/pic1.gif
If you PM me, I might be able to host some images for you...

My problem with this is not the loading time, it is a pain in the rear end scrolling across to read the rest the post, which is still the case. Can something please be done about the WIDTH and LENGTH of these bloody link to photo pages and whatever else people have attatched to their signatures? It is totally unnecessary to have these things, why not just a link, like the above poster?

Yes, horizontal scrolling is a pain. Can we amend the rule so that an image in a sig must not cause scrolling even on a 800x600 screen?

6 days later and still scrolling across the screen. When is something going to be done about this? Not everyone has a bloody 17 inch monitor.
