Unfortunately, boards.ie doesn't yet have an auto-image resizing module, so if you insert a large image, it forces people to scroll left/right/up/down and throws the whole thing out of whack.

Can we start resizing the images we're including from now on? 500 pix wide should be more than enough to show any detail, and if you want to link to larger images, sites such as imageshack can provide you with clickable small images that popup the larger ones when clicked making the whole thing much more elegant.

If we all pull together on this, it'll make our forum much easier to read and digest.

The "aviation pics - post yours" thread can be a little heavy alright.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, I'll alter the thread title, and make a reference in the thread too.
