But, son, do not accept this bet, because as sure as you stand there, you're going to wind up with an ear full of cider.

Thanks for the notcie, and for doing the upgrades! Sounds like a lot of new stuff for us to play with and figue out.

Let's not get too obsequious here. The one upgrade that probably won't happen, but which should, is limiting the posted image size to the size of the text box. I despise having to scroll back and forth to see a picture and worse is having to scroll back and forth to read subsequent messages which are now the size of the "big picture". It's too much work and thus I no longer read stuff where I'm required to scroll to get from one end of a clause to the other.

Certainly not, considering the high cost of membership these days! The level of obsequium ought to be thoroughly examined so as not to exceed the limit.
Anyway, I would also like to be able to at least resize photos within my posts, but I certainly like being able to post them as well

Bruce... I think that might be something that we can do.. It's a little tricky as there isn't a set size to the threadbox.. It depends on the size of your monitor. But I think we can limit the attachment size to something close..

Sounds exciting, although I can't see how SRP could improve. How do you improve upon perfection?  As far as the size of the pics, could we do something where the small image is linked to the larger file? That way, those who wanted to see the intricate details could still take a peek. Just an idea.

Wow I was just thinking the same thing. Some of those large pictures are large for a reason. I just recently saw huge hi-res pictures of the moon...the detail was absolutely incredible. But I wouldn't have seen them if the picture was smaller.
Anyway, very excited about the upgrades. Especially the Classifieds!

It can be done already - see holli4pirating's thumbnail link
To see how to do this, you might follow the process described in this thread, replacing your link label with a thumbnail photo: http://straightrazorplace.com/forums...hlight=testing
Although it appears that even as I type this, the adjustment has already been made to the forum as far as attachments are concerned. Well done!
