    is there even a reason why to have the thumbnail option?
    does it save bandwidth over full size images?
    why not remove that option and only offer the full image option

    Ryan answered this before. thumbnails/full photos are part of the site software and it cannot be changed. Personally I dislike the thumbnail pics and wish everyone would just select "full image"

    ..You and I have been preaching this forever, sometimes to deaf ears. I just wish everyone would take a second before hitting the "reply" ****on and hit the "full image" ****on.:)

    Hello,

    That is a good idea, but first, lets have everyone wait a second before copying and pasting any photo from the internet. Most photos are copied and pasted with no focusing or detailing to make the photo clear without blurry images as it gets larger. So, take a minute or two to get the photo into a simple photo program to adjust the details, SIZE, and clarity.

    Most larger image or “full image” photos that are copied from older files have no one to make the images clear or a quality photo. The digital images seem to have no clarity issues as they get larger. But we all need to get some background objects that ruin any photograph. Sure, one cannot stand there forever to wait until folks quit milling around the said hot rod. But, at least trees and poles can be moved with the camera focusing.

    So, for those that copy internet or any website photos, then post with full image directions, may be over sizing the photo and will become blurry. Take a minute and get some clarity. YRMV

    It won’t take but a few minutes to open the saved photo copied to your files and make the photo program work, to lessen the intrusion on the hot rod photo.

    Note:

    If one copies a photo and pastes it on a Word Do***ent, you can then adjust the size to fit your post. Then if it is not very clear, use your photo program to make things clear as they should be for good photos.

    Insert your adjusted photo in this space and it will give you approximate size for the thread posted paragraphs. If it is too large, then delete and make your adjustments to fit the box without going overboard with a fuzzy photos. They are photographs and aren’t going anywhere, so take your time to get clear photos to post.
