Hi George;

72dpi is about where most people have their monitors set (800x600 for 15", 1024x768 for 17", 1280x1024 for 20", etc., close enough. It seems to work best if you start with a 300dpi pic, and use a paint program (I have used Paint Shop Pro for years) to do an intelligent resize to (i.e.) 800x600 after cropping and whatever. Lastly a sharpening is in order. This technique yields quick-loading, nice pics that fit 90% of all video setups out there. JPG compression ratios up to 35 or more preserve picture quality while shrinking file size, so it's best to check that setting as well in the paint program you're using.

As to inline http locations for links, most bbs operators don't like that because it takes the surfer away from their pages - The link at the bottom of your post always opens a new window so you never really "leave" the KBBS, for instance . . . The original window will remain so they don't forget where they came from . . . A surfer can always right-click a link and select "open in new window," but few other than myself actually do that . . . :)

Best Regards, Spidey
