testing image placement

[Steaphany]

Jason,

Thanks for creating a new Sigma home

Jason,

I just realized that refreshing the thread page does not always pull in the image.

Is this an issue with the image resolution or some hick-up between the forum and the link to my image on the webshots web site ?

Steaphany,

Well that's weird.  When I first viewed the thread, the image showed up and said it was 6xx pixels wide I think.  Now the image is broken, but I can view the image directly and it's fully size.  I haven't seen this before.  I will look in to it.

[jasonh]

Hmm, posting a full size works from my server, but not webshots...

[jasonh]

And now it works?  Webshots hiccup maybe?

Jason,

Here is more information to work with:

http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2167842530102019776ULDtOu

Is the web shots page for the photo.

I was editting the image and when you saw it with a 600 pixel width, I have this Webshots embedding URL in the post:

http://inlinethumb47.webshots.com/42414/2167842530102019776S600x600Q85.jpg

Posted here as an image:



At present, I have the Webshots URL to the full SD14 image file in my original post:

http://image74.webshots.com/174/8/42/53/2167842530102019776ULDtOu_fs.jpg

The forum correctly scaled the full size to fit the page properly, but it hasn't shown up since it's initial presentation.

I can limit posting to images with the 600 pixel maximum if need be.

Steaphany -

What's weird is sometimes the full size shows, and sometimes it doesn't.  In the current refresh of my browser window, I have linked to the full size, and it works.  Other times it doesn't.

I'm wondering if it's something funny webshots is doing to prevent people from downloading the fullsize images without being friends or something.  but clicking the link always yields the image.  Strange.

My personal reccomendation would be to post a smaller size and then link to the original.  I personally like to post 800px wide images and then link to bigger...usually.

 Thanks for your answers.
@ Jason, " purdy"  gave me a hard time 
Finaly I found it in an Southern Slang dictionary

Oops, sorry about that.  Sometimes I forget that for many people, English isn't a first language.

Hello, Uwe!

So you get an "extra" bonus with the English language lessons.

Hello Jim,
Yes, one never stops learning.
The other day I tried to find out something about "Hutt River Provence" at your side of the world.

Trying out a test with links from another photo web site


Prints available from imagekind.com

Yup - This works

Did another test, the whole image is now part of the URL

yet, the resize banner still works.

The only problem is the post has a left-right scroll bar
