StarGrek Deactivated User Under the moonlight. 1763 Posts 10/11	Posted - Nov 19 2014 : 7:09AM I love watching pics of beautiful girls exposing their bodies and all of their sexual assets in alluring and awesome ways. Plus, it is always a teasing must for the possible consumer and a good advertisement for any scene in which the girl is performing. But, folks and especially moderators there are cases where the pictures are huge and many and they "take over" full pages of the certain topic. Sometimes this results in loosing all the other information that is published in the posts (and that is bad). So my suggestion is, for the sake of forum discussion and visual order, that you have to put a limit in the size of the pictures which are published, not too small in order for all of us to admire the beautiful bodies and not too big in order to be able to read the other posts too. Don't crop just change the image size proportionally when the member is posting the pic. In this way you will manage to solve the problem, plus you will save lots of space in your hard drives. Thank you. Topic Moved by - flash on Nov 19 2014 [Link]
mharris127 Senior Member 1844 Posts 8/09	Posted - Nov 19 2014 : 3:05PM Theoretically this is a good idea. I find the size of pictures posted annoyingly large as well in many cases. Unfortunately the problem is that most people do not have an appropriate computer program to resize a picture file before posting. Yes Photoshop is only $10 a month (I saw an ad with that price on it recently) but for those that only post a picture or two a month that is expensive for that purpose. There is likely a free photo sizing program for Linux users (I haven't looked but maybe I will as I use Ubuntu on my desktop computer) but most people don't even know what Linux is, certainly most don't have interest in using what is essentially an open-source and free replacement for Windows just so they can resize a couple of pictures. Also, people would have to learn what size to reduce their pictures to in the first place (640 X 480 is a good size for 4:3 pictures posted to a forum, certainly no more than 1280 X 1024 would be necessary. Do the math for other picture proportions). Due to this we would see fewer pictures posted, probably much fewer. [Link]

StarGrek Deactivated User Under the moonlight. 1763 Posts 10/11	Posted - Nov 20 2014 : 1:59PM You dont need to buy Photoshop to do the sizing. For those who use Windows, you can use the Paint tool you find in Accessories (This is what I am using, fast and free). I am sure there are similar simple Photo manipulating tools that come with other Operating systems as well. But I am not referring to a manipulation from the user side. That is tiring if you think about it. It could be done automatically by the tool the ADT site use, when the user decides to publish the pictures. Just like the Avatar we use in our profiling. I dont think that would be difficult to be done. [Link]
StarGrek Deactivated User Under the moonlight. 1763 Posts 10/11	Posted - Nov 20 2014 : 2:09PM One other suggestion would be the image to be resized automatically when the page is loading and create a thumbnail, so when the user clicks on it the picture will get larger. This solution though will cost a bit in loading speed unless the thumbnails are created together with the original upload. In this way the user will admire the whole picture at its original size but on the other side this will create a little more work for the web developers. [Link]

If I had my druthers, the pictures should be even bigger. [Link]

Click to expand Gee.. so the original images are even larger from those they are finally posted. I was wondering btw what is the size limit in dimensions or in file size? Drew Black wrote: Give me some links to the threads so I can see what you're talking about. Click to expand I dont remember exactly the threads .. they are scattered around in many pages ... one I saw was in one of those directors appreciation thread pages. Some of the posts contained a long list of oversized images. I really appreciated a lot some of these ladies they are portrayed in the pictures, but if you add a couple of replys to these posts, the list of images is repeated again and again and before you know it, the page is over. Drew Black again wrote: I'm the only developer for all of this site. Click to expand Wow... you did a good work so far. I have though a couple of suggestions to make it even better. [Link]

They give a sensual color to the colorless text. Plus, I love the way each user is trying to promote his personal proposals to the directors, uploading alluring images of the starlet he wishes to see. Yet in some cases the successive replying to the same image post leads to a meaningless repetition of the same pics over and over. And yes some of the posts are repetitive and dull but there are also some interesting posts, which contain infos about upcoming scenes and movies, about starlets themselves, as well as opinions, comments and ideas that some of the directors would like to read.

It's free. It's powerful (almost as powerful as Adobe PS w/o addon filters and plugins), but easy to use to. You can just resize by percentage (make sure to maintain aspect ratio or it'll mess it up). This picture is big cause I wanted to show off whole program screen [Link]
