i still think we should limit the image sizes here like they do in the windows desktop threads. it's getting pretty rediculous how much you have to scroll to the side and how long you have to wait for this thread to load.

make a small image, say 640 pixels wide or so and link to the full size one. it'll make things a lot easier ;)

here we go:

If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please try to keep it at/under 1024x768 and under 60k (It's recommended that you link it, externally)

Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be

If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.

In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

Theme: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

Wallpaper: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

Icons: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

Programs: Name/where you got it(with link would be nice)

If you have ever seen the screenshots bit over at resexcellence it would be nice to keep it along that style, ie:

Theme/scheme: SS Final Cut Theme by Kevin Husted

Desktop picture: From Monochrom

Visible programs: Safari, FileXaminer CM, PicturePop CM, PathFinder CM, NewOpen CM, ScriptsMenu CM, Fruit Menu, PTH Volume, MenuMeters, Script Menu, PTH Clock

gah still to big, hehe. the forum is designed to display at 1024 so it is only logical that you would have to have an image smaller than that to make sure there is no horizontal scrolling. i still think 640 is the right size in terms of width. that's what mine are at. looks like 640 would barely fit using the image attachment system.

the horizontal scrolling has nothing to do with how the board is designed, it has to do with what screen res you are running at. If you are running at 1024x768 and someone posts a picture the same size, then of course you will have to scroll over to see it because the rest of the board is there too. If you are like me though and run 1600x1200, then I never have to scroll horizontally. I may be stupid but I am pretty sure this is how it works. :whistle:

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
