Am I the only one bothered by my monitor being too small to view all of a linked photo when someone loads one too large? (I have an 18 inch) Not only can I not view the picture properly, the text is difficult to read. You would think there would be a filter to prevent this.
If I can make a change on my end would someone help?
see "The Perfect Photo" thread for an example

I can see the pictures with no problems, although they are a little wide. Maybe you need to increase your display resolution? What's it set to? (Windows > Control Panel > Display).
I don't think a "filter" would work... because who's to say that a picture is too large? Maybe the person wants it that big for some reason, etc. |

Thanks Chris. Setting is 800x600
Do you not have to slide the bar left and right in order to read the text? All other pages perfectly fill my screen until someone loads a too large photo. (According to GeneralE,this is the problem)
By "all other pages" I mean all the standard dpc pages. And I have a slider bar for the vertical ONLY until I experience 'The Problem' then I get one for the horizontal as well. Looks like I miss about a third of the page horizontally.

one way in Internet explorer to get more "viewing area" is to press F11. this will bring up a smaller interface for IE and let you view the pics better. to go back, just press F11 again. (of course this is a last resort, i realyl would increase the resolution of your monitor to 1024x768 atleast.. since you have an 18 inch screen, thats probably not too much to ask, as i'm using 1024x768 on my 14 inch screen)

OK, Thanks. I will try that.
Thanks Andre and Chris. That fixed it. Going to have to get used to screen but at least I can read the text now.

Wow you must have good eyes. :) I'm in 1280 x 1024 on a 19" monitor which is perfect for me. Good tip on using F11 in IE.
David, like Refracted said, try going with 1024 x 768. On an 18" you should be able to handle that resolution no problem. |
