What screen resolution are you currently using, boonedoggy61 ?, the forums work best at 1024 x 768.

Try holding down the control key, and rolling your mouse wheel.

I haven't been having any problems. Yes, sometimes an image ends up in the forums that's EXTRA LARGE and you gotta scroll a bit to the right sometimes for that page(which is little annoying at times, but no huge deal, for me anyway).

@Mark, has there (or is there already) anything limiting image sizes posted in forums?

There is no limit, that i'm aware of. Images in the forums are generated from the url of the image. If an image is too large, the page will become misaligned. In that case, if the page is too far out of alignment, we'll need to edit or remove the post.

*also, @ boonedoggy61, you should be able to go into your control panel, and adjust the font size for the resolution you are using. Once established, this should no longer be a problem.

Most sites (who haven't already) are going with the wide screen format.

I'm not even sure I'd consider myself a novice at website design, but shouldn't it be fairly easy to put a limit on image sizing?

Images would need to be re-sized with a photo editing program, this would have to be done individually. Simply put, if it even could be done, it simply wouldn't be a feasible venture, given these problems are few and far between.
