Indeed.. But I am certain I saw embedded images when I checked the site from a different machine without logging in a month or so ago. And no, I wasn't under influence of illegal substances.

Embedded images can be seen by anyone.
Not true in this particular "embedded" case @ssp3. ::)

And now, the difference between the "old" (left) and the "new" (right).
Note the loss of the complete 600 width image displayed on the right.

*Again, not on my regular workstation and using Graphic Converter
  instead of my customary Photoshop. Otherwise I could accurately
  assess the measurable loss of image via the new 2.0 layout.

The good thing about the "thumbnails only" posts is that non-registered users can not see them, inviting people to subscribe, if they want to learn more. Embedded images can be seen by anyone.

i understand how it can be useful that people do not have to add pictures "twice" by first attaching them and then (in a second attempt to edit the post) link it using img tags, as this always was a mess.

many posts here ended up with attachments-only for that reason, so that the reader of the site later had the option to choose between either a 8k mobile phone image or a 120x120 mini preview - but no option to look at the image in a useful size. :)

however, a quote at x600 does not fit on monitor of x1600 with a relatively normal setup (firefox windows at 133% zoom) so that you have to scroll already.

in a normal post is fine though. so i guess maybe i should only talk about quotes and not about preview size. image size of 600 in normal posts is fine!

Wow!!! Great addition! Make sure to post about it at System 7 Today as well! :)
Need to dig out a 9250 and test it on my 8600.

EDIT:
I see that you already did ;)

Especially interested in your results with 1920x1080 and bigger resolutions via DVI-D output. I was hoping to get 3440x1440@30Hz from my PowerTower, but my 9250 PCI card's DVI output is flaky at that setting or any other large resolutions.

3440x1440 via DVI on a G4 Mini  8)

(at 30Hz refresh rate--you can't win 'em all)

Wow! Which Mini and with what ATI driver?

1.25GHz Mini, basic Mac Mini v9 install CD driver set, on a Dell U3421WE monitor via DVI->HDMI cable.

My Mini fuzzes out trying 1920x1080@60 on the same display, so it's a fantastic spot of luck that it negotiates the native resolution at 30Hz.

My 9250 PCI card is unreliable at both of those settings, forcing me to stick with a Radeon 7000 in my PowerTower running MacOS 7.6.1. :-(

Thanks Knez.

And grrrr.... IIO. I almost never think about laptops.

How about 400? Still too big under the “old” theme? (Currently away from my machines to test this.)

The concern here is basically about those who attach much larger images (those that require scrolling around to see parts of the total, never ever seeing the entire image at one time). AND while those HUGE images are almost never embedded, now there’s the possible option to consider of either embedding them at 300-400 pixel widths (and possibly prompting the huge originals downloaded to view them at a reduced size on those machines).

OR the additional work of downloading and downsizing the “base” originals to 600, 900, 1200 or even 1400 pixel widths... and then reposting them and embedding those reduced files at the smaller 3-400 defined pixel width size.

Making them “clickable” for those capable of viewing them at a larger (yet still reduced) size.

Any other fine suggestions on how to handle 4000 x 3000 pixel image file sizes without troubling the laptop jockeys too much?

AND also, now... are larger images best viewed under ye olde olden theme? ;)

The IBM T221 runs at 3840x2400 and will use a refresh rate of 13 Hz when a single-link DVI input is used. It's an IPS LCD, not a CRT.
The highest raster CRT resolutions of which I'm aware are 2048x2048 used for certain navigation displays (air traffic control, etc). They use a 60 Hz refresh. A 13 Hz refresh would never work in a CRT because phosphors with such long persistence are not available.
This issue with phosphor persistence is the real reason for video interlacing: a progressive scan at 30 Hz (NTSC) or 25 Hz (PAL) would be intolerable. So the image is interlaced and scanned at twice that rate, which looks fine.

i cant refind the old post, but there was that supersized CRT which allowed some mammoth resolution when runing at incredible 13,1 Hz. (probably useful for nothing but displaying stills in a store window?)

would be interested in your monitor model.

i´d vote for 300.

600 is already too big when inside a quote on an average 1440 laptop (new theme), and imho to close at the size of the most originals.
