Watch photos... please resize the images

[By-Tor]

People have posted lots of photos in HUGE resolutions lately. They take forever to load, even with a standard 2Meg connection. There's absolutely no reason to post/embed images larger than 1024 x 768, unless it's a special decorated wallpaper or such.

Whenever I see a post that has say, 10 gigantic sized pictures... some of them have been over 4000x, even I just press the backspace and go back to the previous page. Waiting the page to load for 2 minutes is just too much. Not to mention people who have slower connections.

I understand that not all people have Photoshop, but even a freeware Irfanview is capable of resizing the images.

This is not a complaint... just a suggestion. Please don't post 'em straight out of the camera but resize your pics for nicer and faster forum viewing!

And please do not repost a set of pics & then add just a line or 2 at the end.
