When I post my photos in a forum I notice my photos appear smaller than what I sized it to and where as I see some of the other member shots there pics look larger on the page. The smaller image takes away from the effectiveness and the three extra clicks to get to the image I originally wanted is time consuming, at least that's the way I feel. I'm sure it's a basic fix I just don't know it. Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like you are using the medium 700 wide image, instead post the original 1200 wide image.

Matt, As you know I'm having the same issue when posting directly to the site using the "Additional Options" drop down.  My photos are displayed at a reduced size and I don't see any options in that regard.  They go to full size (100%) if you click on them but I suspect a lot of viewers either don't bother or aren't aware of that.

Thanks, Scott

Looks like the MD-80s were posted from an external site.  Different situation than mine.

Scott, when images are hosted by the forum they are displayed smaller so the pages load faster (forum setting, 500 longest side), it then requires a click to view them full size.  Images that are hosted on an external site can be displayed at whatever size the poster decides to post.

Thanks Matt, maybe I'll try an external site.  Any recommendations?

Scott, quite a few of us use <a href="http://flickr.com>Flickr</a>, it's actually where quite a few of us first met and AzAP got its start.
