I haven't tried, nor does it really matter to me, but I am curious if part of the maintenance/changes allow for larger pictures. I always resize my pictures to 640x480 px to post on the web and end up less than 200 kb.

Just wondering if all of the changes allow me to exit from the end of a post to the first page with all of the posts listed?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I found that there is a "Quick Links" drop down list that one of the options is "Today's Posts." This is on the bar at the top of the page that starts with "User CP" and is above the title of the thread, The "Quick Links" is on the right side of the page. If you post to a thread and click on "New Posts" either on that same bar or on "New Posts" on the black bar that is below the Quilting Board Logo at the top of the page, it will not show the threads that you have replied to. That is unless someone has responded, by the time you click on it.

physical display dimensions and file size are 2 different things.
try compressing the image file instead of resizing it.
that usually results in a decent display size unless you started with a really small image.

I'm happy with my display size (when click on thumbnail). Before the change and when I was on dial-up it still loaded the pictures fairly easily compared to larger images. So I do understand about slower internet. It was the larger images that I would skip, but those that were comparable to my size, I did not have a problem with.

Actually, I was referring to what you stated in your instructional pdf about posting images, "There does seem to be a problem for anybody trying to upload an image file that takes up more than 2MB, which means the size chart in the upload dialog box is wrong. reason yet unknown." Has that changed?
