Further, if you are finding that your browser is responding slowly because of images, the answer is for you to turn off the automatic loading of images within your browser preferences. Thanks for the information. If I can find the preferences I'll change it. :^p

Thank you for this.
I am new at posting graphics using HTML and all of the information that I get is helpful to me.

In general, I find 300 x 300 a good size for an image. Of course if it's smaller than that, it won't be a problem.

IMG HEIGHT="100" WIDTH="200" I always wondered how to control graphic size, short of resizing and re-supporting.
Thanks!

Thank you for this post. I think photos and graphics are what really enhance FR and helps to tell a story.
Graphics makes FR fun and unique. For the Graphic Turds who declare that we can't use them, you have just proved them wrong.
We are winning the war against the Anti-Graphics Nazis.

You mean I have to add the "width" and figure out the height/width ratio now to accurately change the pic size? I had no idea this slowed down FR. Thanks for the info.

You also just provide a link to the image. If the viewer wants to see it they can
click on that link.

Somebody ping Mia T to this thread QUICK!!!!
To: I Am Not A Mod; John Robinson
This is because many browsers, if these attributes are not included, will not load the rest of the thread until it can completely download the image, since the browser does not know how much space to leave for the image. This can cause it to appear as if Free Republic has stalled, if the server providing the image is overloaded or responding slowly.I Did Not Know That. Thank you! I have seen the light, and am reformed.
John: This really is a common problem. Can a method be devised for FR to give size modifiers to image tags automatically, if a user doesn't provide them? Of course, you wouldn't want to hardwire them, since you don't want to screw up the aspect ratios, but could the FR software someday attempt to "discover" the resource sizes at posting time?
As a stopgap, the software could simply reject IMG tags without height and width modifiers, warning the user at preview time, and providing a message telling him what to do.
To: I Am Not A Mod
There are several things I'd like to add.
First of all, if you resize a graphic, please keep the same aspect ratio. If it was initially 800x600, don't turn it into a 400x100 photo. Everything will look skewed. If you're going to reduce the width by 75%, reduce the heighth by 75% also.
When increasing the size of the photo, please don't do it until the thing gets super fuzzy. Most of us would rather see a small clear picture than a huge blurred monstrosity.
Now the last and most important thing in my opinion. Folks, please do not post photos from servers that are very very very slow. Threads simply will not load if your graphic freezes on loading. When you post a grahic that doesn't work, it can practicly kill a thread.

Thanks. Bumping for reference. (Didn't know about the image size addition)

Some browsers get easily pixelated.

Great post.
(As an aside the image above is just 837 bytes in size, stored as a .png "Portable Network Graphic" format, which often does a better job than .gif's and .jpg's at reducing image file size.)

I wish the adminmods would suspend anyone from posting threads that signs up the same day or within the last couple of days, I have a feeling the trolls are ready to swamp this forum.
