Guidelines for Image Dimensions & Size / Posting of image

Darren · 22nd July 2002

Note to all those who post pics here, please try to resize/crop your pic to the following recommended dimensions (recommended cos we can't force you, but just hope that you will be kind enough to do so)

The dimensions has been reached after weeks of painstaking research and polling among the users to determine the most common and average screen size which turns out to be 1024x768 pixels. Therefore, the recommended image size will allow your picture to be displayed in its entire glory, without having to scroll sideways or up/down. If you have a larger screen size, grin to yourself and say "I am a lucky devil". If you have a smaller screen size, well, isn't time to upgrade??

Also, try to save your JPEG images at medium to high compression factors (experiment to see what level will produce the smallest size without too many artifacts) and keep the size to between 50-80KB.

Without further ado - the recommended image sizes:-

As a guideline only - you can make your pics smaller or slightly bigger (max width is about 700 pixels to fit comfortably without having to scroll).

Q:How do i post an image here

To post pics, you need to find a website that allows hotlinking of pics. Open an account with them and upload your images. Or you can subscribe to our Clubsnap Webspace here

Next, copy the url of the image. Use the image tag (

the yellow mountain button on top) and paste your url and remember to close the tag.

e.g "[img]url[/img]"

You can preview your post first to see if your image(s) is/are attached properly
