Could you guys please go to the - currently - last page of that thread, which is page 241, and check the pics and the problem descritpion I posted there in postings 3604-3606 and 3608-3609 and 3611 (all on page 241). It seems there is some serious issue with the scaling of images I post via Imageshack. I have no clue about the Whats and Whys.

Have you tried pasting various links next to the pictures or is it that you simply copy paste the images?

Picture hosting a la Imageshack. Worked since years.

Ok...so if you don't resize the picture when uploading or you screenshot app has the correct settings for saving... the only issue may be in the way you link to the pictuers...you got varius options there.

I myself havent used imageshack for ages so.....not sure.

It's like I said in the flight forum. The originals are 1680, my monitor size. At imageshack, I upload them and rescale them per option to 1280. They seem to become visible for others in 1280 for sure, and clear, for me they appear as monitorsize or slightly more, slightly blurry.

The one shot I uploaded in 1680, got shown on my end with something that must habe been in excess of 2200 pixels, probably more. Such screenshots I cannot even make, my monitor and gfx board display only a maximum of 1680.

I can only think of page zoom then.

Page Zom wpould effect the whole page and other people'S pics as well. But these get scaled correctly.

@Sky,

I've modified the url of the 2nd picture in the post #3605

Pic is as evah... and how could you edit URLs in my posts? At least you are not listed as a mod in this forum.

Also check your current desktop resolution...or check your PC for evil spells.

I'll do a manual gfx driver reinstall later today, with manual deinstallation instead of just doing the nVidia routine. Maybe something is screwed there. I tried newer versions over the past weeks, but found them all to be instabile, going back to 275.xx, which is the last version stabile not causing black screens every couple of minutes. nVidia drivers since 275 pretty much have been a piece of garbage. They really need to get their homework done again.
