Test picture post

Looks like someone removed the 250 pixel limit! 

lets test it out:

[scottychaos]

woo hoo!
the 250 limit is gone! 

thank you to whoever removed it! 

now the only potential problem is that if there is no limit, people can post gigantic images which mess up the page...usually done out of honest ignorance about resizing, but I still think there should be a limit..like 640 to 800 or so..
normally I would never post a 900 pixel wide image like I did in the post above..I just did that to test it out! 

If no limit is automatically applied, I guess we will just have to try to educate the people that post massive photos...hopefully it wont happen too often.

hmmm..maybe there is a limit set and its larger than 900!
just for the sake of science, im going to post a massive pic just to test the limit, if there is one...normally this shouldnt be done! 
please keep pics at 640 to 800 maximum!

lets see..3,518 pixels wide should do it:



*edit*

ah ha! there IS a size limit!
I dont know what it is, its obviously somewhere between 900 and 3,518 pixels..
thats good then!
I wont bother to test it anymore...

thanks for fixing the "250 pixel problem!"

Scott - Just curious as to why the track is raised off the roadbed. Is this on purpose?

Terry,
are you referring to this photo?



there IS no track! 
the engine is sitting on a railing/fence.

Great,

I can ... but my images are larger in image shack where I keep them stored ... less than 800K, but they used to post larger than this. any suggestions?

Thanks,

Like I said before, you have to edit your post and remove the 250 limit.

width=250 height=187

hmmm..interesting.
well maybe that works, but its certainly not the best way to do it!
the "250 limit" was actually gone for a brief time this afternoon..photos did post full-size with no editing necessary..then the 250 limit REappeared..so perhaps someone is still tweaking the forum..

again, same info as the last post, RailImages call this a  "Linked Thumbnail"

[Rich R]

Yup! That's what I'd call it as well.
It works as such at least.
