Thread: Picture of the Day

Does this belong here?

Sure, why not. Now take a couple pics from the other end and post them in the Ullr thread in the padded room.

Cell phone pic with effects, skiing in the front yard

some college ski racing stoke.

You're goddamned right it belongs here, Willbert.

Duh?

how do you guys feel about the 800-wide image limit in the new forum setting?

I don't believe mine was scaled at all. 1024x683. For an example, scroll up 2 posts to JCE's. His is 800 pixels wide.

I opened a new photoshop image, enabled the rulers and made them the length of my image underneath and it seems to be right on. This isn't the most ideal way to do it, but it certainly is over 800 wide. Maybe they lightened up a bit? I certainly didn't like the limitation. Maybe limit over 1500 wide or something?

I see yours scaled down. Firefox 3.6 with the VB4 white skin. When I right click and select View Image, I see the bigger version.

Weird. I've got an email request into the developers to limit it to 1200 in the biggest dimension and scale from there since no one else is answering. Do you think that is sufficient? I believe that scaling is important because I was sick of dicks intentionally posting 5###x3$$$ images and fucking up my window.

The world is against you bro....
I don't know what it was, but I didn't notice as many too big pictures the last few months on the boards....

Not so much recently but the scaling was brought up in numerous threads in the past and the general consensus was to scale gigantic images. I don't agree with the minute 800x600 with today's higher resolution monitors though. That would have been ideal in, what, 1990? For today I think an image with 1400 or 1200 as their biggest dimension will fit on most modern screens without scrolling and not look too small. Nothing I hate more is having to scroll a picture and not get the whole thing in one viewing, especially if it is a nice picture.

Didn't notice you said white skin the first time around. I am using the TGR skin. I see a difference between the 2 for sure.

Don't laugh - I got these neon things at Conrads in Garmisch for 75% off - and I LOVE them with Dukes on them. Tons-O-Fun and they scare Germans.

From a couple of hours ago. We decided to go have a 'fun' workout today and climb the big 'ol sand dune about 10 kms from the house. Turned out to be a great time - and a very good leg/lung workout.

Footprints in the sand. There were actually three of us, but I was carrying Jesus. Dude isn't as light as he looks!

My son and I finally got our first day skiing together this winter. We did our usual race and he kicked my butt, skiing switch!!

Love the color. Now you need a matching pair or pants or jacket...or lens hood.
