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:

well actually neowin is designed to run at 800 i believe. (minimum) thus making the page accessible to basically everyone with a computer. considering the 12" mac models max out at 1024 and this is a mac forum it would only seem logical that you would want them to be able to view the thread without troubles. i don't know about you, but when i increase my res i do it to be able to have more workspace, not so i can run my web browser at fullscreen to show more whitespace. sure you can say it's all a matter of resolution, but when people are at the max of their computer and still can't view the thread without scrolling sideways, you have problems.

not to mention the huge pics make this thread load slow even when i'm on a cable modem.

of course this is just my opinion.

Yes I agree with you, but the thing is, is that if you have a computer that max's out at 1024x768 and you have to scroll sideways to view the thread, then you will probably have to scroll anyway when looking at the image. So when you click on the image to see it you will still have to scroll. Although it would be nice for people not to have to scroll within in the thread itseld that way all the text stays normal, so that people do not have to scroll to read. It would also be nicer to have 640 thumbnails as I am on 56k sometimes and it would make it load alot faster. I doubt any of this will ever happen though...

and I do think that we should start a yearly thread because the images not showing up at the beginning is kinda pointless IMHO. :unsure:
