    Does anyone know how to setup the display when viewing the pics, as I seem to have 1/3 of the right hand side of the pics not displayed?

    Is the image going across the whole width of the screen Simon?

    Hi kpone, yes the image fills the screen but it's like it's too large and I can only see 2/3 ?
    I have never been able to see the FULL pictures since joining the site, and tonight I managed to upload a few pics which were displayed correctly, then when I logged back in the image is back to 2/3 again....?

    Okay, you're going to need to resize your pictures to make them fit. Making them about 800 pixels by 600 pixels is about the norm for a post and a bit bigger for those hero knee down shots. If you're not comfortable with image manipulation software like photoshop or gimp there are a few easy options. What operating software are you using on your computer?

    Hi Ken am using photo bucket, and sized them to 800 x 600 ish which they NOW are fully visible ?? However if you look at the topic about the gear indicators jamiehrc posted a pic (on the top of the last page) and I can only see just where the digital speedo starts ie the gear indicator is not visible . . . Can you see the gear indicator ?

    Yes, I've got the whole image visible, including the grass through the windscreen. I'm not sure what's going on if what you're seeing is being clipped. I'll have a look in the settings.

    Both yours and Jaime's pictures are 1023 pixels across so they won't fit in the window without scrolling at the screen res I'm running. Resized to 800 x 600 it looks like this. I suspect this is the problem you're having. If you can run your monitor at a higher display resolution things should improve.

    Cheers

    Ken

    Hi Remal I am using an iPad, but have tried a friends laptop and it displays fine ..... So I guess it's an iPad issue? Strange one because all the "posts" are displayed fine it's just seems an issue with the pics?
