Geez, Guys!!!
I step away from TBN for a few hours and this thread takes off like a weed! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
Thanks for the pictures, John.
Your manual clears it up better than Windex. I'm feeling a little short-changed in the manual department, Bird. Are yours as superficial as mine?
As for posting pictures, we had a discussion about this recently. Muhammad has suggested a maximum width of 720 pixels and the file size is constrained to 200K. Many digital cameras have a 640 x 480 mode, which is a dandy size for posting on the internet. If you want to be "polite" to those who may have slower modems and/or computers, I would recommend keeping the file size below 100K, if possible (that's merely Harv's humble opinion).
In general, photographic images, such as taken with a digital camera are best saved in
jpg format, using whatever compression is appropriate for best size and detail. Line drawings and/or text usually do better in
gif format. As Muhammad cleverly demonstrated, if you reduce the color depth to 3 or 4 pixels (which you would only want to do on a line drawing or text), a
gif file will turn out to be a fraction of the size of a
jpg.
The conundrum is that if you can't or don't know how to reduce the color depth, it's a toss-up as to which format will do better on line drawings. So I suppose if you're not sure what to do, use
jpg. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
And John, I was going to congratulate you for coming in off the porch and registering as an official TBN member, but now you seem a little uncertain as to whether to log in or not. Why don't you come on in and set a spell? Kick off your shoes and make yourself comfy. That way we can send you sarcastic
private messages in addition to public ones like this. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
