The All New Desktop Thread, Images No Larger Than 800x600

Otacon · 18 Apr 2005 at 22:45

Welcome back

The old thread had become a mess, what with 4 million dead links, and 2 million mah00sive pics. So it has been archived for all eternity here. It holds the record for the most views of a thread - 220,395 at the time of archiving :eek:

So then, new thread, same theme, but with a slight rule change. From now on any pics posted directly to the thread must be thumb-nailed preferably, but 800x600 max (before vB auto resize!). In the old thread, you could have a dozen dual desktop pics posted on the same page, and it would take an age to load.

So then people, as you were

as my desktop is so plain, i resized to 800x600 before taking the screenshot.

saves resizing it afterwards.... i normally run at 1280x960

dom, that's a horrid bug with this theme& ultramon i'm assuming... i couldn't use it like that all the time...

Aye I've been meaning to look into it,see if there is a work around or I could just get rid of the buttons in Ultramon but I use them quite a bit

Desktop, full size = 1024x78:

Laptop, full size = 1600x1200:

(latter photo is not my own incidentally)

If you feel the urge to enquire about any of it, just email me (in trust).

7 posts in, and already someone has posted an oversize image :rolleyes:

Perhaps its my fault for not making it obvious:

Posted images are to be no larger than 800x600

Thank you

Does it not thumbnail for you ?

I think there should also be a rule that says
"It would be nice if you could say what programs you are using and links if possible."

I know what your using but people will keep asking "hey kool bar thinging, whats it called and where can I get it".
Also I cant find Yz Dock. lol

After downloading the image, yes. The point of posting the smaller images, as said, is to reduce the amount of pages that take 4 years to load due to oversized (size on disk) images, and then go nuts when they're all resized together.

Its not much to ask.

The size rule is a good idea Otacon as the old thread got to state where it crawled on my 1Mbit connection! Although I do surf these forums using 80PPP (posts per page)
