   I like the layout! :)
   (Have you decided on the preferred format / dimensions for posted images? Firefox reports that the screenshot is scaled down to 820 x 461 pixels).

   TNIP posted that one, so you'll have to ask him. I usually just copy and paste the posts from here, without editing too much.

   I copy/pasted the link to the image, and it gave me an option to scale it down. Because it was a bit big (compared to the rest) I did scale it down. I don't really have a standard on size, though, just "what looks nice".

   I meant to post a tutorial on sizing images for these forums. I work around a 400 x 300 pixel size for all the images I post here in these forums. That makes sure the image isn't too small but on the other hand not too large, so that multiple images don't casue slow page loading. If we posted images any larger than 400 x 300, apart from loading times it would probably swamp out the page as well; {especially with the number of images that I like to post}

   However it's up to the individual as too how large they want their images. If you don't agree with my assessment above that's your perogative. :)

   That said it would be nice to keep most of the images the same size if only to keep the pages from looking messy.

   Just to show you what I mean, the following image, (which was showing the absence of a bridge that was supposed to be there), which I took to illustrate a problem with the map that I was testing for a friend who still makes maps for Battlefield 2 (The Mercenaries mod). The first image was an adjusted size for posting and the second is the original image size.:

   The original has actually been reduced in size by the image sharing host, but is still much too large for the page. It looks unweildy and makes the page look untidy and lopsided, even though I've centralized the image to the page.
