Suggestions to make the forum more conveniently readable with less scrolling

Actually, the photos here are already too small.  How about however introducing the inability to replicate photos when using Reply with Quote since it appears that all too many either are unable to edit out wholesale replication, or are simply too lazy or uncaring to bother.

MWB, I think the "Reply with Quote" is one of the biggest problems we have here. It seems that some people think that is the only way to reply to a post, so we end up with a dozen photos re-posted so the poster can say, "Nice pics!" at the end. What a waste, but there is nothing I can do to change that.

Ace, I will look into the option to post photos at the medium size by default. I'm not sure I have the control to do that, but I'll look around.

For me, this forum, even with the flaws of how others post to it, is better than not having one at all.

　Actually I have never seen any of your images, they all show up as a small box with an "X" inside it.

Good use of a cattle prod can prove persuasive.....

I would think you could make the default images smaller, they zoom to a larger size when you click on the in-line photo?  Doesn't Hoopla give you control of the in-line displayed size?

That would be an issue at your end since I and as far as I know everyone else does see them - perhaps you have Photobucket blocked for some reason.....or perhaps the Universe simply is unwilling to cooperate with your computer.

"Reply with Quote"...I hate that button because people over use it & have no discretion, especially with multiple quotes in one reply. 

 "a dozen photos re-posted so the poster can say, "Nice pics!" at the end." No kidding-again, discretion and laziness prevail...I've started avoiding those threads ...

"What a waste, but there is nothing I can do to change that."  Rich, it's too bad the site software doesn't automatically disable the photos in a "reply with quote" ....that would be the ticket!

This is a problem on your computer. I have seen many of MWB's photos on this forum.

I'll check on this, too.

If a like a certain pic I right click on it  copy & paste  comment  rather than selecting all the posters  pics.  Is that legal?

Gregg, you can do the quote with all the pictures, then just select them and hit DEL, they go away.  If I want to include one or two pictures, I frequently do that.

I frequently edit the quotes to just include the part I'm responding to, many times it's a fraction of the full message.  Also, don't forget the <> icon above to fix any mangled quotes or messages pasting from other sources.

Nope, I can see images others post via photobucket on other forums such as this image linked below. It is only yours that appear as the small box with a "X" in it rather than a picture.

I think the carriage return thing changed behavior when the forum was upgraded.  I'm pretty sure it used to be a carriage return just started you on the next line with no break between the lines, now it adds the space as well.

I find myself hitting the enter key twice out of habit a lot also. (like I just did)
