Hey Gunlaug,
Thanks for that information :) I ended up settling with:
img {max-width: 490px;}It degrades well - IE users get the crap. They can upgrade... to anything else.
Thanks again!
BTW forums are odd. What is the CSS equivalent which closes all tags... eg, you can have a table cell with this in it:
<td> <b>TEST </td> <td> TEST </td>
only the 1st cell is BOLD...
Weird.

WHY doesn't my forum table Clip the large image? Where do I need the overflow: hidden???
Doesn't work on a table. A table will expand by default, and no style can prevent that-- at least not in any browser I've tested in. The only solution that'll work for you, is something like this:
<td class="post_content"> <div style="width: 490px; overflow: auto;"> This Ultra Wide image SHOULD be truncated.<br /> <br />
<img src="users-bi.jpg" /> </div></td> ... a div in the table-cell, with width and overflow set on it. IE6 will create scroll both ways, because it is unable to calculate in its own scroll-bar height. Opera and Gecko will provide you with a horizontal scroll-bar only.
