Did you guys load an update to the software recently?

There was an update...and one of the features is a limit to the maximum width allowed. I set it to 750 pixels which is the width of our columns so people who must post giant pictures without following the rules stop forcing the rest of the readers to side scroll.

I think what is happening is the resizing of older posts waits for a new post to hit the thread.

I'll continue to monitor and if it is really annoying I'll turn off that new feature.

I vote turn the feature off. Even Mark Youngs pictures in his signature line look like the Empire State Building. Please go back to the old settings.

Thank you

It's not that hard to resize a photo before posting it.

That is exactly why the new feature was added by our forum software supplier.

The rule has been no pictures wider than the 750 pixel forum width. Now the software limits it.

As I wrote, we'll see how it plays out.

Having to scroll because of oversized pictures is really hard on a mobile device which more and more of our users are adopting.

People hate change, even when it is for the better.

The pix look fine if I use Firefox or IE7 but are stretched all to heck in Chrome.

Ok just called my wife at home. She opened our hunt report on Zambia on our MAC at home and I opened it at the same time here on my work PC. The pictures look correct here on the work PC and are distorted on the home MAC.

Anyone notice this? Don, any suggestions?

I'm viewing things on an iridium sat phone....and they all look good on my sony vaio...that is until I get disconnected.

I only have about 5 min a day on the web, so I'll see how this plays out, I might change it back. BUT remember, the rules in all the picture guides on this site say keep the pictures small. It's not our fault our posters didn't size them right. We have a lot of dialup and foreign users. Now that I am in a remote location, I see the issue first hand.

Agreed. Apparently those of us using Macs and Safari are experiencing distorted photos on many, if not most, posts with photos.

Is that the fault of the moderators?

I logged out and logged back in and everything is fine at the moment.

This is beyond any of my tech weenie understanding but I hope it stays fixed.
