Image Resizing
I've noticed that this board resizes posted images to 600pix X 400pix, which causes
the inclusion of the irritating yellow resizing bar to appear on many (most?) images.
Could I suggest changing the default size for the forum to 800pix X 600pix which is
a more commonly recognised forum "standard"—and which many image hosting sites
use as a common default.
It's no big deal, but it's silly to be often clicking the resizing bar, only to find the original
image is only 5% or 10% percent larger anyway.

I don't mind changing the dimensions of the picture size. I'd like to get some feedback from other forum members, but it was a pretty simple thing to set.

800x600 is cool. Sometimes when I clip something from twitter, it's not always very readable on the smaller size.

I think it's fine the way it is. Whichever size you choose is always going to be a compromise which serves some purposes well at the expense of other purposes poorly. I am not a mobile user, except on a tablet, but I suspect a smaller rather than larger default size is friendlier to the number of people reading on phones or tablets.

The thread title made me think it was about resizing something else.....

I use https://postimages.org/ for uploading/hosting my images, and 800x600 is one of their "standard" sizes.
Their next size down is 640x480, which is the widely accepted size for message boards, with a standard screen ratio of 4 : 3.
![[Image: maxresdefault-1.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/k4mmZLqx/maxresdefault-1.jpg)
... which this site downsizes to 640x360, with a screen ratio of 16 : 9.
Why the 16 : 9 ratio rather than the standard 4 : 3 ratio?

I like the 800x600 suggestion.

It's the standard ratio for widescreen TVs and monitors:
Code: 4:3 1.33:1 Standard Channels
16:9 1.77:1 HD Channels
21:9 2.35:1 Most movies
14:10 1.4:1 IMAX Film

I had this conversation with a co-worker at Hyperwar. He wanted pictures a certain size "because they fit better on the screen." My reply was "on this 27" monitor or my cell phone?"

Why not 3:2 which is what the real cameras do?
Besides, to get the original, just click the freakin' bar.
