You know, Midgar and NobodyImportant, you could make a smaller version of your screenshots to work as thumbnails.

Sure, SMF resizes the picture dimensions but it can't do anything about the file size. I for one don't particularly enjoy downloading 250 - 600KB 640x480 pictures that would look exactly the same, but would be less than 100KB if you resized them to 640x480.

Please, use your head. Not everyone is on a broadband, and even if they were, there's still no need whatsoever to post fullsized desktops as is.

The pics won't show up anyway if they're on broadband; if someone has the time to look at everyone's desktop in the world, they have a no life crisis anyway. Plus, eye candy is perfectly suitable for any forum, unless you're using that old LYNX browser.

On a side note, BS.player Forum is a good resource for video codecs, for those of you trying to mess with the ff7 videos.

What part of "...would look exactly the same..." are you having problems understanding?

EDIT: Actually, let me rephrase; it would look better hand resized. Because for example bicubic resize of Photoshop (or any resize algo of any image editing program, except for nearest neighbor is far superior having your browser scale them... since frankly, I don't think that anyone ever seriously meant the browser scaling to be used for anything except emergencies).

Sorry. Most forums I go to have an autoresize, and I didn't bother to change it.
My current one after failing Beryl, and going back to Windows.

Obviously never actually used it have you.

Vista is fine, works exelently, every game I own runs on it perfectly, Bar FFVII, which I play on my laptop which is DB XP/Vista.

Why must people create such pointless things.

I agreed with you,
I have windows trial boot here windows vista/xp and Debian (linux)
Vista works fine, All of my games runs perfectly, it´s not slow, and I don´t think that vista is huge...
because actually new computer from stores comes with 120 gb of HD ( here in Brazil works in this way)
for example for me
I have 2 hds of 400 gb
7 Gb of vista don´t make any different.

obviously the news OS will be more expensive and huge, but also the computers will being more powerful... it´s the tecnology... if you have a P4 today, and after 5 years the same computer will be a junk piece. :P

So I think that windows vista is a good OS, I do not have nothing to complain.

Best Regards!
