Its going to be a strict policy because i HATE IT!!!

Any images that distort the template will be banished.

Too many times, visiting post, the template collapses because there are images posted at the size of 1024 by 768 in a Post

If you want to Show of massive images, Please use the gallery,
You can login using your OWN user-name and password from the forum.

You can upload the biggest pic in the world, and it will product a line of Code you can Add straight into your post,
This will post a smaller image on your Post,
and Link you directly to the bigger image in the gallery.


Sorry but it looks ugly when you see the template getting pulled left and right in all sorts of different directions.

It would Require a MOD.

Or i could embed some code in to keep within a limit of size.
But it will cause problems with some Wide or Long images @ some point.

All mods got stripped from the site a few months ago,
I spent hours sorting the forum out, so a rule was no MODS.
Nothing that could slow the site down.

It prob would not, but hey why the hassle when am sure all your good boys are able to follow the guide lines hehe :D

Good rule man. I hate that too (although I've probably been an offender recently :) ).
Given a load of options in Google image search I will check and choose a reasonable image. Sometimes the perfect image is the size it is, so it's good to have the gallery on stand by...
