K sounds reasonable. Just thought I'd point it out if you hadn't seen it.

The best answer here is to crop the image to the box in the middle that shows the demos, since that's the only relevant part and you don't need to include hundreds of useless pixels of map fringe on each side of it. Please do this. It really takes a minute or less with Paint or Irfanview or some screenshot program, and saves lots of headache for all the readers.
Windows Vista or 7? Start / Run / Snippingtool .
Played: Pitboss 18 - Kublai Khan of Germany Somalia | Pitboss 11 - De Gaulle of Byzantium | Pitboss 8 - Churchill of Portugal | PB7 - Mao of Native America | PBEM29 Greens - Mao of Babylon
You can move the dating and score information inside the demo box before cropping it.

I edit my pictures using Preview (on Mac OS) - no-one who recognised I use Chicago for annotating my pictures?
The thing about cropping and moving pieces around has more to do with workload than anything else. Though I should be able to crop away the pieces to the left of the central piece quickly.
Is this really such a big deal that we are harassing the guy who is doing hours of C&D about the size and format of the photos he posts? Seriously?

I think the spoiler tag solution is fine: if you want to see the screenshot you can pretty easily, but at least for me I'm much more interested in what kjn writes along with it. He's already putting in a ton of work for C&D, let's not add on to that workload.
Let's not get carried away. He mentioned the screenshot size in the post. So I mentioned the new screenshot tag and everyone just started discussing it. I don't think we're harassing him.
 kjn is free to continue his write-ups as he sees fit.:hippie:

I actually prefer the spoiler tag for oversized images over the new screenshot tag anyways. It'd be one thing if he's bombing us with a bunch of images every post, but really it's usually just one image. I can handle the occasional scrolling. (crosspot with Lewwyn - and yes - harassing is probably too strong of a word for what was actually happening) |
