Default Whats with the MASSSIVE PICS

seriously?

Every pic posted lately requires me to scroll horizontally for five minutes, not to mention having to do the same for every line of text.

Can we not have an auto resize here?

great, I'm glad that posting in here does nothing.

Thanks for the terrific service, IB, as usual.

Oliver-- From the "threads with gigantic pictures" thread:

As a work around you can try holding down the Control key (Command key on macs) while repeatedly pressing the minus (-) key to reduce the size of the browser window. Hold the control key and hit the plus (+) key to bring it back to original size.

perfect example

resizing the forum on the screen is not the answer. fixing whats broken is the answer.

It's called a 'work around' for a reason.

I appreciate that you have created this work around.

i do not appreciate the clowns at IB failing to have a clue.

Yup, I agree, it's irritating. Would be nice if the pics weren't the size of a highway billboard

What's the work-around -- hitting control and the minus key? That makes the pictures smaller alright, but it also makes the text way too small to read.

I was going to suggest IB allow us to attach more images .... as they seem to restrict the uploads.

I just post to tinypic and embed the code.

I'd rather just upload here but they put restrictions in place.

Doesn't make sense really. Webhosting space is virtually free and bandwidth is cheap too.
