Photo size in pick up thread
Hey folks
When posting in the new pick up threads please be aware of your scan size. If they are real big then as time goes that thread gets more cumbersome. I will resize them sometimes so please don't take offense. It's not personal. Also, another board hint, if you aren't seeing 80 posts on your screen, on ONE page when viewing a thread, go to your user control panel and change it from whatever number is there (I think 10 or 20 posts) to 80. Your viewing pleasure will be enhanced. I chuckle when I see longtime members say they are on page 3 of a 40 post thread......that should be page 1. (if you don't want to turn so many pages) |
Photo size
What is the preferred hot size when posting? I usually reduce my photos to a smaller size, but I suspect I don't reduce them enough. Thanks.

One other hint, even though someone said there might be a default in our s/w to add the "sent to" PM message box, as a default, there isn't. It takes about 5 seconds to go add one from your user control panel. I recommend everyone doing it. Then when you want to see what you sent you can. If you don't set it up you won't have a sent box......just a hint to make the experience on the board a little better. And yes, there are a ton of things we could upgrade but these few things are ones everyone can do on their end and very easily. |
Sorry Leon for the big scan. i will try to do smaller scan with my new canoscan :)
I am newbies with my new scanner :) |

Hi Leon,
Is there any way to edit the size of pictures when they are posted from links? I don't have scanner access and usually will pull from the eBay auction or from my photo bucket account. Unfortunately, those tend to be very large images. Thanks, Chris |
Since we're talking about forum settings...
Leon, have you ever thought about adding a feedback feature for B/S/T transactions? The only other thing I'd like to see personally is that people would leave the prices in sold threads. Most seem to delete the price and replace it with "SOLD". I'm not asking to put the exact price that the item sold for (I'm sure there is some negotiation going on via PM and email. It would be nice to have at least the asking price for reference later on when determining value of similar items. |

As for adding a feedback system for the BST, I have thought about it. It would require significant work (contrary to what a few people think) and it's not something I see a huge need for at the moment. Yes, it would be nice, but the implementation is not just 1,2,3.......and so far, in many years, I haven't heard of more than a deal or two (actually never heard of any but there had to be 1-2) not being done because of feedback or a lack of reputation. |

For the most part, this forum seems like a smaller and more tight knit group than others though. In that regard, I don't think the feedback system is as necessary. |

O.K., Leon, I am a computer idiot
although I sit behind one all day, every day.
Where under Your Control Panel is the option to change number of pages in a thread at? I don't see anything to change/control that under the headings given. Thanks. |
