  Re: Can anyone give me some web site design advice?
 
Just started looking at your site, and I like what I have seen so far. I take it you built your site at 1024x whatever resolution? You are not the only one who posts big beautiful pictures, but it does make it difficult for those of us at 800x600 (...) (24 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Can anyone give me some web site design advice?
 
I had actually been thinking that myself. Actually, I run my screen at 1200x1000 but my typical web window ends up being about 1024x700. I have thought about how the large pictures are a little "too" big. I would prefer to post smaller ones and have (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Can anyone give me some web site design advice?
 
It would be really nice if browsers could scale images down to fit a the screens resolution; afterall, many picture viewing utilities do that automatically. Please do not make the pictures too small. I just want them to fill MY screen. To heck with (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) fit. Browsers can fit images to the size of the window: <img src="myimage.gif" width=100%> This scales the image to fit the width of the browser window. I personally prefer to use thumbnails and when clicking on it the full (unscaled) picture (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

(...) Hmm...maybe I'll start using this tag. (...) Sorry, I meant that it would take longer to load nine 8K thumbnails and then load nine 70K pictures 1 by 1 than it would to load a page with just nine 70K pictures. (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)

  Re: Can anyone give me some web site design advice?
 
(...) The one problem I have with this is that my screen is usually more that most pictures - in which case saying width=100% will _strech_ the picture, distorting it. On Tue, 7 Mar 2000 19:11:24 GMT Christopher Masi <cmasi@cmasi.chem.tulane.edu> (...) (24 years ago, 7-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Can anyone give me some web site design advice?
 
Thanks for all the advice Chris. I revamped my site with smaller pictures. Its MUCH better. Seriously though, why not come out of the dark ages and upgrade that 256 color video card? Being a software developer, I just HATE it when we have to make (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Can anyone give me some web site design advice?
 
(...) Because I spend all my spare cash on LEGO I can't afford to upgrade my 486sx25 with a VGA 640 x 480 256 screen. I did have a SVGA screen but that blew up and I was given the VGA screen. I designed my web pictures to fit in a 600 x 480 screen (...) (24 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish)
