    In case there are any members who do not know this, I just wanted to remind you that you need to "click" your mouse on the pictures in order to view them properly. The pictures are small and grainy as they are presented on the posts. If you click on them they expand and you get the full clarity (actually, you get half clarity on mine because my camera is set to take take photos that are too big to load on the website so I reduce them by 50% but the clarity is still good if you click on the pictures and view them as enlarged).


    You either already know this stuff or I've just revolutionized the way you see photos on Hydrodyners.com! :popcorn:

    BTW - we hit an all-time high 42 members on the site yesterday. See what a little posting can do? ;)

    Not sure why I didn't see this post sooner. Certainly noticed the 42 members on at once though. That's good stuff!!

    Regarding the pictures, Mark is absolutely right. Anytime you attach a picture the forum automatically puts a small thumbnail on the forum instead of the full-size picture. This is because the full-size picture would make the forum go crazy on small monitors.

    So if you click on the attachment, the full-size image will open in all its splendor.

    I should also note that if you post a picture that is hosted elsewhere (i.e. using [image] tag), the size of the image you can post is also limited by the forum software. This is also because the forum would go crazy on small monitors if the size isn't limited. So if you have a large image to post, it's better to use the attachment feature than it is host the picture elsewhere and post it that way. If you just post it, without using the attachment feature, the size will be very limited, and no thumbnail will be produced. ...if that made any sense. :good:
