Image Size On Cache Page


Recommended Posts

I think the website will resize them accordingly. :D:D

Im not sure this is true. Ive seen some cache pages with such a big picture that you have to scroll from side to side to just to read the description. Then when you try printing them out, you only get half the page. Those pages are annoying!

 

Not sure what the max size is off the top of my head. I'll try different sizes and placements on the page until it looks right to me. Trial and error yes, but its not hard to do if you have some kind of photo editing software.

If you link from IMageshack or something it might not even know there WAS an image, so to speak. ?

 

I am also looking at the edit page for my other cache, and the only image request field is for background images... I'm missing something here...

Images uploaded to GC.com are resized unless they already meet the criteria posted above.

 

A background image can reside elsewhere (somewhere other than GC.com) and so those or any other image that isn't stored on Gc.com doesn't get resized. Anywhere that you can point outside of GC.com for an image file doesn't get resized.

 

I'm not sure there is a rule of thumb but anything that makes your screen have to scroll sideways is a PITA. In that light most people can tolerate 800x600 though 640x480 is a good limit.

Speaking for the others who have slow dialup connections like mine, I would say no larger than 600 pixels on the longest side. That is the size GC.com resizes them to, but if the image is hosted elsewhere, it can be much larger . . .

 

and that is when it takes forever to get the page to load with a 24K connection . . . :D

Here is the code for my Dream Catcher photo. I placed it inside and at the top of the "description" box on my travel bug page:

 

<img align=right src="http://img.Groundspeak.com/track/display/366c2c0a-cb71-438e-abc3-12127c92dfeb.jpg">

I always upload my picture the cache page. Then I use html to change the size. I can go in and make it any size I want easily, until it looks just right to me.

 

For example:

 

<IMG SRC="http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/log/51825b49-f612-450e-bacc-fe141b04dcf7.jpg

" ALIGN=RIGHT

BORDER="0" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="6" height=325 width=500>

 

First off, I go to the page that shows the picture and copy the url.

 

The picture url is put between the quotes.

 

You can take the spot the says 'RIGHT' and change that to 'LEFT', (this puts the picture to the left or to the right of the text) or take out the ALIGN=RIGHT altogether and put <center> before the whole text with </center> at the very end if you want the picture in the center.

 

Border says "0", but you can change that to "1", "2", etc, and that puts a different size border of black around the picture.

 

Finally, you can keep messing around with the height and width numbers until the picture looks just the right size.

 

Not sure if this is an answer to the question, but there you go. :unsure::blink:
