You assuming everyone has IE. For those using Firefox, you can change the image resizing setting by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Multimedia and there is an option there 'Resize large images to fit in the browser window.' That's with Firefox 0.9. Firefox 0.8 is the same, except that the Preferences option is in the Tools menu.

That photo of the hurricane in the carribean is amazing. The hurricane looks like a giant spot on our planet.

Most of the time I want images automatically resized so that I can see what it is I'm supposed to be looking at. With IE, I can resize it to it's full size simply by clicking on the icon in the bottom right, after I've seen it in it's "shrunk" state, and after I've oriented the image in my head.

As far as I'm concerned automatic image resizing is one of the most useful features of current browsers. It gives me the best of both worlds - easy comprehension of an image, and single click access to the full detail. Why would I disable that, and end up scrolling around an unfamiliar image trying to figure out where the interesting bits are?

I agree. There is no reason to disable that setting, IE users simply have to click the little box that appears at the bottom right of the picture when you run your mouse over it to show the full sized image. Firefox users just need to click on the image. No need to disable anything.

Very nice pics though, thats one hell of a storm. And Ireland is so... green. :eek:

A lot of links posted on boards (especially in After Hours) really require BroadBand as they sometimes point to HighRes Videos that would take a year and a day to download!
