I can happily view an image of 800 vertical pixels, providing there is no page formatting above and below it on a 1280x960 monitor. I hate scrolling pages though. Consider that while this is a photography list, we don't all have or can afford Cinema displays, nor are we willing to overdrive 19 inch monitors to 1200x1600 pixels, since the quality turns to crap anyway. While it may be time to relax the image size constraints, please don't turn the PUG into a gallery by and for elitists with the latest equipment.
William Robb =========== Agreed. Shel, never gave out tallied results on his poll. But I noticed that while many can see much wider than 600, 800 was mentioned many times, the ones that had a preferred cut off point preferred PESOs 650 pixels high and shorter. The more signifcant cut off point, in other words, was height. But, on the other hand, people were more willing to scroll vertically than horizontally by a significant amount. I could go in and tally his poll or maybe someone else could. He's not on list right now. The results surprised me. But I felt it gave me valuable information in how to size my PESOs. I'd prefer as wide an audience as possible.
