What software do we use to edit a large image down to the size constraints needed here? Lastly.... where can a post a picture that can be seen by all? Thanks!

I use a program called ACDSee to resize and crop images, if you need a copy I have a shareware version that I use and could send to you.

Default Hybrid and linear selection and this title line

I have discovered a very cool tool as long as the title box is used with the reply...
...If you have selected the Hybrid and linear option, you can review by looking at the title line AND see the chain between replies...

Good point, but there is still a horizontal scrolling problem on my (or probably anyone else's) 800x600 laptop screen. You can duplicate the effect here. The main page (www.corvetteforum.com) is okay though, so that should be a clue.

It's still a work in progress, so I think we just need to be patient while the issues are worked through.

AMEN! I think this will greatly reduce the number of "Edited by" lines we were seeing tacked onto the end of many (if not most) messages.

Just emailed you a link to the ACDSEe Shareware.

As for hosting you can use MSN groups they give you 3 megs of space and it is free but you need to create a hotmail account. I use the corvette community.

Here is a link to that
