Sorry guys...

It was our fault - must have been at the height of detox.

Too much Meg for the garden.

Guilty as charged and thanks for fixing Deep!

Thanks Deep for sorting - I've had dreadful problems here in the UK on my 2mb home connection - even works 10mb line wasn't exactly blazing.

I know i asked the question earlier with MIke but does anyone check the file sizes before they upload them or is that something you can do 'on the fly' and amend sizes and dpi etc as people upload.

Problem is if you insist o certain sizes - the non technical but motivated will stop uploading or even move away.

We have the opposite problem at Fabulous Photo Gifts of course - people uploading 3.5k images for a 1000 piece jigsaw etc.

Hey Purple
I do it on the fly as you put it...
alter the image as I post and then check the html just to be safe...
really large images I photo shop but thats it....

I have some quicker solution than Photoshop :)

If you are on Windows XP, use this power toy called Image Resizer, you can download it from here, (11th from top on the right side)

or

directly from here

For Windows Vista and Mac there are other various free tools available.

No worries Deep - we've deleted a few of the images now anyway but feel free to resize if you get the chance!

Cheers.

Hey uh ... Deep? The white background isn't showing up again on the home page. I tried GSTF in Safari, FF & IE, latest versions (I'm pretty sure ...)
The forum and comments sections are behaving.

was link luv part of the problem - i've only just realised that a posters last article no longer shows up. Shame - really liked that feature and I'm sure it helped generate traffic back to a persons own blog/site as they changed - particularly when there were repeat comments on a really long discussion.

I'd like it back if that's possible?

The picture management/editing on wordpress is shocking.
Apart from the small area to show what you are writing making it really hard to see what you are actually doing, it really doesn't allow you to resize a picture easily.
Is there a setting whereby any picture you upload can be displayed at a preset size (or a selection of size).
My last post had three images and it is almost impossible to size them correctly. Each time they look correct in the editing area when I then publish they change size and/or aspect ratio. Dragging the edge of the picture is awkward and often leads to terrible results as the aspect ratio is not locked.
Anyone else find this or am I missing something?

Purple13 - I have re-enabled CommentLuv Plugin, Akismet guys have removed Gareth's China IP from their blacklist.. I had emailed them 3-4 days back and they confirmed it.

Gareth - If you are on Windows XP then use Windows Resize Power Toy.. I have provided some info here

Do let me know if you are on any other OS.

Thanks Deep, I'll give it a go.
My China IP address will now be a Thai one, I also go into Spam from my Thai work IP address. Outside work is fine.

Great work Deep and all who have shared their frustrations here- with all these great points from the founders things will shape up well software wise as we leanr from each other.

How are we looking on the new version of Wordpress, server migration and the profile / social features.

Just ballpark is fine but its important we raise these issues here.

changes do happen. I know they are the trace of time , adidas f50 adizero,irresistible and inevitable. the moment I saw my father I should not recognize him.I know he is getting old ,but returning home after more than 4moths,the symptoms of old should have grown beyond my imagination. I felt guilt and regret. I know I am the killer who take away his strength and youth.apparently he was pleased that I arrived so early and brought presents for them. when I was young I always thought he was some kind of tyrant , stern and severe.Nike Mercurial Vapor, I thought he was not approachable and touching.while with years passing by, in the process of my growing up and his getting old , these impression fades and instead it is replaced by words as gentle caring and loving . he played cheese and badminton with me, he would sing with me , he cooked for me , he chat with me , he is tolerant of me.my dear father and all my families , I say sorry for my past fault , I know sometimes I just easily surrender myself to the various temptation, and lose myself and my way. but believe me , I just easily surrender myself to the various temptation, and lose myself and my way. football boots,but believe me ,my experience is added over time and I can preserve my values and trace my path to maturity
