(...) gah! that's a terrible thing to do, IMO. not only you force people to download the huge picture, just to see it as 100x65, but you use up their cpu to resize it, every time anyone hits the page... instead of just resizing them once yourself, (...)

(...) I usually just split the difference and try to plan everything online to be slightly less than 600x800: pictures, html, etc. One of the better browsers to use is one called Opera, currently in version 6. One of it's cooler abilities is to (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.publish.html)

The browser which comes with Windows XP does resize automacially when opening a *.jpg file, but when opening htm files it can be done I think.... I saw such a trick today at work. I can find it if you want so. I usually try to keep it 500 wide / 400 (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)

(...) I'm in the low end camp. For most things, a 640x480 image is plenty, especially if you crop it. I will go up to 800x600 or even 1024x768, but I much prefer to keep them small. Of course I'm still running a 33k modem so large images are a (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.trains)

There should be a main picture page on Calum Tsang's Peachy Server (w/ RTL Events photos) regarding Train 3. (I don't think it is quite ready yet.) It will link all the photos that everybody took.

(...) My preference is at least 400 pixels wide and at most 1024 wide. This doesn't hold for wallpapers, of course. Perhaps there's a way that the HTML could be modified to resize the images to the browser width if the image is large? Of course this (...)
