    Default Why are my pictures so large?

    I have been downloading pictures for a while and haven't any trouble. But now all my pictures appear super sized on the threads. What would cause that and how do I fix it? I have tried doing some changing them in paint. But I don't have any luck. Anyone got a fix for this. Thanks
    P.S. I notice that auto save will pop up. Is that normal? I would appreciate any help. THanks

    I hope someone has an answer for all picture posters because opening these posts to look at the pictures isn't thrilling at all when every picture is huge, off the side of the page, and the complete quilt isn't there in it's usual normal size for viewing. Been skipping over the posts that have these huge pictures. I am sure I am missing some good info because of it. I thought it was my computer as every picture is coming up super sized and taking up huge amounts of space to scroll over.

    Default Pictures huge

    Does anyone know why when I click on a picture posted here that they are so huge I can't see them? It started yesterday. Before it was normal. Thank you.

    You néed to RESIZE them before uploading them to this site or any forum. Do a "right click" on the picture using your mouse. The drop down menu will give you the option to "resize". Click on that. Another drop down menu will default to "small". Click. O k.

    Save the pic and only upload the new resized small picture. All pictures should be resized most likely. It takes a while to wait for the oversized photos to download. I dont wait for them. And I have high speed!

    It's a problem for me, too. I believe it started right after the site was shut down for maintenance a couple days ago.

    Default picture size

    I love to look at the pictures that are posted on this board. Some of the pictures are so big and it looks like I am only seeing part of the picture. They look like pictures that are zoomed in too close.

    I am not trying to post pictures. I am just viewing them. Why are they so big?

    Hope everyone is having a great day!
