WHY ... the Tractor guy .... (my opinion) on your pictures.....
You already know which ones you are not happy with. But your picture (#40873) in post #17 is pretty decent. (A bit bigger would be better) . I like the initial smaller size when I click on the thread . Then I click on the picture and it will open a larger version in a new window. This I like. A fast loading (initial) picture that I can choose to enlarge if I want. A bit larger would be even better for zooming in.
Scott Essex provided a nice large picture in his post # 15. It is 2 inches wider than my screen but that is not bad. Made it work on my computer. But I can not expand it if I wanted too. Not unless I expanded the whole page which would make the print portion 10 times larger as well. I would like Nice pictures like Scott posted but if there were 10 such large pictures that took 10 minutes to download I might have passed them by while waiting. I much prefer 10 smaller pictures that I can glance at in 10 seconds to select the ones I want to expand and stare at for ten minutes.
Summary ..... WHY ... and Scott ... nothing to do with you guys or your pictures. I just know what I like and wish I knew the technology to make it work every time.
I love to click on a thread with lots of pictures. I like pictures that load quickly and give me the option of expanding the ones that capture my interest . Sometimes I stare at them for a day or two observing the details. Just kidding about the day or two , what I mean is they are on my computer for a day or two while I revisit them trying to learn the aerodynamic lessons or the builder tips. I love build pictures of all kinds.
One issue for me is that my cottage (shack by the river) is on dial up , which is slow and old like me but hey , if it is done right I can click on 10 threads with 10 pictures on each , all downloaded in just ten minutes while I flip a steak on the barbecue . That is 100 pictures. I usually click on 20 of those hundred pictures and stare to my hearts content. This I like.
On the other hand , some posts by Tim O'Connor (Barnstorm) will have 10 of the presumably nicest highest quality award winning pictures on one thread. I say presumably because I seldom get to see them . My cottage dial-up can grind away for an hour and still the pictures do not completely download. I hate missing out on Tim's pictures but it is he who has set the parameters. I should also mention that the office computer is on high speed internet , has a 36" inch wide flat screen , but I still miss out on Tim's pictures. Too long to load in a busy world. Still wider than my 36" screen. Award winning quality that is un-viewable , at least to me. Sorry. I love pictures. Especially the ones I can actually see.
WHY , thanks for your post and your pictures , I hope you are able to figure out how to post the pictures to please old farts like me. Sorry I do not have the expertise to give you advise (on picture posting) I only know what I like and prefer. I also like your 18 year tractor project. I look forward to the day I can see more pictures of it. Thanks.
