Pic size

[Guest]

How do I make my pics larger in my posts, as in fit the posts page size? Sorry for being thick, I grew up using a chalk and slate......!

see link in my signature about using imgur. Much of it applies no matter which hosting site you use for pictures. And yes, you do have to have your pictures hosted on another site like imgur or flickr.

I'd like to figure out how to make the page larger. Pics used to fill the screen.

Anyone know if that's possible? To expand the page? I see three inches of blank margin on both sides when using my PC.

Roger, are you using Flickr? There are several sizes you can select when selecting your photo to copy elsewhere.

That didn't work the way I thought it would.

The first one was a medium, second one was a large, and the third was selected to be even larger than the second one.
Edit:. They all look like the same size on my tablet. IDK??????

Larry, the sizes on Flickr are file sizes, which is based on the resolution. Generally the photos expand to fit the space, unless the resolution is real low, like 640 long edge.
Generally on the forum, 1024, 2048 or even full size, will all fit the window about the same.

For this forum I use 1024 pixals for my max side, although on my photo forums I'll use 2048.

What Roger is asking about, I think, is the PAGE size, not the picture size, and the 3" of white space to the left and right of the meat of the forum page's info. I also seem to remember that the forum used to fill the page to whatever width you set your browser window. I don't see any way in settings to change this. It will adjust the text as you adjust your browser window smaller past the margins.

Like this?



Just had to scrunch the window...Which tells me it is more of a window size and screen resolution thing.

On the laptop I am using right now, I don't have those wide margins....

[Burque73]

Larry, yes, I use Flickr. That software hasn't changed, it's the forum page.


Rich, you nailed it! The grey margin on both sides.

I logged in on my PC with an Acer monitor that's 20" wide. Forum page is 12-1/2" wide leaving about 3-3/4" blank on both sides.

Logged in on my Lenovo laptop with a 13-5/8" wide screen. The forum page is 11-7/8" wide leaving only 13/16" on the sides.

I used to stick with the 1024 size or even smaller if need be. 2048 was huge and it's annoying to have to scroll around to see the entire image. Now it doesn't seem to matter if I post the 2048 or even original which is 4608.

So simple for the ones who know... what buttons to push & so confusing for the ones who don't know...what buttons to push.

Do you know how we learned what buttons to push?
You just keep pushing buttons until something happens. Stop. And repeat.
It's really not anything but stubbornness...

rphillips, if you've read the Imgur/Flickr guide linked in my signature and are still having trouble posting pictures, let me know. I'd like to help. - just another button pusher.
