Image size revisited - Seems it often gets skipped over

Posting images in the forums
The format of the forums will be changing shortly to allow for larger image sizes in all the categories. The "Member's Treasures" category was set up not only to show off your treasures and talk about them, but also to allow those of you who choose to link to larger images to do so without worry.
All I ask is that when posting images elsewhere here in the forums please be considerate of those visitors who are not fortunate enough for cable, isdn, dsl, or other broadband and stuck with modems and dialup. People with older monitors sometimes have a tough time with large images. 640x480 pixels is a nice size, and larger really isn't necessary (say 1024x768 and larger).
The "Member's Treasures" is a different story, so have at it there, but don't take that as an invitation to get crazy.
With this reiterated on it's own, if I see life size images of the back of a headstock in forums other than Member's Treasures I will delete the image, or the post at my discretion. All moderators here also have the ability to do so and is at their discretion as well.
If you are unfamiliar with how to resize images, photobucket.com is quite user friendly and can resize images as you upload them as can Flickr.com. A google search will yield literally hundreds of pages and tutorials on image resizing.
