Cotty,
I can agree with this request. Whenever I design a website, or even just a page, I try and constrain it to 800 on the horizontal dimension. I realize the majority of internet users have this setup.

Can I make a very polite request? If you post a pic on a website, especially your own, is there any chance that you could offer users the option of viewing the full picture at an absolute maximum physical size of about 1000 pixels by 700 pixels? In fact I would personally go no bigger than 800 by 600.
The reason for this is that when seen on a monitor that does not support
a screen size larger than 1024 x 768 (as my computers don't) then one is
looking at only a large portion of the pic, and scrolling is required.
A number of users view the internet on screens only supporting 800 x 600
- although these are becoming less common now.
Sites like Photo.net offer a choice of viewing sizes, which is excellent.
If I open a page with a pic on and I can't see the entire shot, then
frankly I'm not fussed, and close it again. That may be fine and you may
not care one jot what i think or do, but I would suggest that if you are
after maximum exposure when posting a pic, by posting it overly large,
you are not getting it.
HTH and thanks and sorry
Cheers, Cotty
