I've noticed the large pictures myself.  A few years ago, when I bought my
first digital cam, I posted some big pics on BrickShelf and got some notes
saying "Nice photos but TOO BIG!"   I immediately removed then and posted
smaller ones.

Since then, when I do post stuff there I'll make a reduced copy of the
original to either an 800x600 or go down to 640x480.  Like Ross said, when
you're on a 56K (really going at 31K if lucky!) then it can take a bit to
download a 1024x768 but I've seen larger ones up.   It's those bigger than
1024x768 that take up the time.

Scrolling is good for those pics where you've got a panorama proportions
like the pic you've got here:

Generally, I don't mind it if the details given are worth looking at (but
sometimes ...).

I want to bring this up because I find that some of pictures on Brickshelf
tend to be very large. Now I am sure I am guilty of this as well. Because • on
my PC I have my resolution at 1024x768. But sometimes I run into pictures
that are a greater resolution then that. But when I post about my newest
MOC's I tend to never hear any complaints about the pictures being too • big.

So my main qustion is, what resolution do most people view the site at,
1024x768, 800x600, or smaller? And do you think people should stick to a
certain resolution or do you care that much about hitting the scroll bar?

Here is a link to my Brickshelf gallery.
