RE: PUG picture limits
That doesn't work because it doesn't account for the screen real estate taken up by various browsers. Really, a maximum of about 800 pixels wide should be comfortable for just about everyone on the list. I know there are a few here using 17 monitors and lower resolutions than 1024x768. Shel [Original Message] From: John Forbes Here is a concrete proposal: The maximum dimensions for a PUG picture shall be 1024 pixels wide AND 768 pixels high. I would guess that a very large majority of screens nowadays can display 1024 x 768.
Re: PUG picture limits
Point taken. It's past my bed-time. And I have a 19 screen. Amended concrete proposal: The maximum width for a PUG picture shall be 800 pixels and the maximum height shall be 600 pixels.

John (expecting a deluge of posts from WAP phone users demanding 72 x 48) We really should find out what our generous PUG hosts can tolerate WRT bandwidth increases before we start discussing arbitrary amendments to the current file constraints.

I think that is stretching it a bit too much ... At those dimensions, the filesizes would about triple compared to 600x400. I vote for 800 pixels along the longest side ... (This would still DOUBLE the average filesize!) I would guess that a very large majority of screens nowadays can display 1024 x 768. Probably, but on most it would cause scrollbars anyway since some amount of web-browser and PUG-navigation will be there as well. This would force almost anyone to keep looking for the Next link :-) John (expecting a deluge of posts from WAP phone users demanding 72 x 48) :-) Regards, JvW -- Jan van Wijk; http://www.dfsee.com/gallery
