Welcome back :D

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 So it has been archived for all eternity here.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 :)

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 :)

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

Does it not thumbnail for you ?

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) ;)
