To all who are posting pictures, could you please post pictures no larger than 800 x 600 pixels size, we are finding that the written text is going way off the screen, making it very awkward and irratating to have to scroll across the screen, thank you,

How do I make sure that the pictures will not be larger than the specified 800 x 600 pixels? Also, can they be jpg, gif or tif files?

The 800x600 limit only applies to pictures you are posting using the [img]and[/img] tags. If your pics are more than 800 wide, the forum will inform you when you try to post.
You can also check the size of any picture on your computer by right-clicking it and going to Properties -> Details.

Hi,

So if the files are much larger, is there n easy way to downsize them so they will be acceptable?

Thanks

Charlie

You can open the picture in Paint, go to Image -> Resize/Skew, and then change the horizontal and vertical percentage to something less until the picture's dimension reach 800 or smaller.

Alternatively, you can just put the picture onto a photo-hosting website such as www.tinypic.com and post the Direct Link to the picture in your post. We can then just click on your link to see your picture at full size.

A new section has been created for the completed builds. When you finish a project in this forum. Please mark it completed so that it can be moved to that section. This will allow for more room in this section for all the in-process builds and still give the finished builds their own section so they can be easily accessed and enjoyed.

I have photographed and recorded the scratch build of my model, but it's not a current build (I finished it about 18 months ago). It will still take me a while to re size and organise the pictures and notes of the build. I thought I could feed it in in single short posts so that questions could be asked and answered. Can I still post in on this section of the forum or is it strictly for models currently under construction?

I'm not a moderator, but you could actually post it in the other section here named Completed, fully documented scratch builds.

In the end the building topics that are posted here and that are completed are transferred over there as well. People can still ask questions and comment over there.
However, to have more response I guess you might post it here (more viewers) gradually and after 1 month or so ask a moderator to transfer it?

Thanks for clarifying this. I kind of thought what you said was the case. I will post the build here slowly as I sort out the pictures and build notes, and trust the people in charge to tell me when they think transferring it would be a good idea.

Thanks again.
