In an effort to stabilize loading threads, I have taken it upon myself to once again reiterate the proper procedure for posting pics. PUT THE DIMENSIONS(width and height attributes) IN THE IMG SRC HTML! Ahem, when you right click to get the properties for the pic, the attribute box also gives you the dimensions; wonder why? A typical IMG SRC link will look something like this:

<img src="PIC ADDRESS" width="xxx" height="xxx" >

Simple, huh? It's not difficult, so there may be some laziness going around???

Another pet peeve. I know some computers have the right click function disabled, so this is not necessarily for youse guys. BUT, for those that have the ability to copy and paste, is there any excuse for NOT including(in italics or otherwise) the pertinent part of the post you are replying to? It's frustrating occasionally to read a reply that doesn't make a whole lot of sense standing alone, ie, without the context of the "replied to" post.

That's it; carry on.

"Hey JoJo, don't you have something else you need to be doing???"

Yeah, I do. Maybe I'll post about it in Breaking News!

Hardly worth mentioning.

Yeah, it ain't a big deal, but I just thought while I was peeving...

Get cable. It's faster than dial-up.

[ForGod'sSake]

It seems waht you are asking is for everyone else here to do something to accomodate you, and perhaps a small minority of others.

Actually it's proper protocol, good netiquette if you will. And until recently, within the last year, say, it wasn't a big deal. Are you a lazy poster? Maybe you should ask either of the JR's what they would prefer if you don't like my take on it?

I've actually got a fairly dependable DSL connection, but that's really beside the point isn't it?

There's a dancing forum here?

I find this helpful. I didn't know how to size the pics. Thanks.

ForGod'sSake, you're right on that one. Just read that on an html thread.

And, FWIW-
Two fonts walk into a bar.
The bartender says, "We don't serve your type here."

You're welcome and I hope others take it to heart. Very large pics can also be "resized" to fit better on the screen, thread, whatever. One has to pay particular attention to keeping the aspect ratio intact so the pics don't turn out like some of the out-of-kilter ones posted on this thread.

The other cat loves to salsa dance all over our bed and us as soon as the alarm clock goes off. ----

LOL! That's more like a "march" all over my face when it's time to get up (according to the cat)! LOL! Cats get what they want, don't they?
