OK, I stayed away from comments on another’s post when the discussion veered to posting full sized pics vs thumbnails.
When I first started posting on this forum, not understanding the issue, I was so proud of my picture taking ability that I wanted everyone to see the full effect of the pic so I posted it full sized. (then I viewed some of TomY’s work which quickly put me back in my place)
Soon after, I read comments some viewers had of trying to read posts with the extended download time cause by the large file size of larger pics.
Having recently felt distain with some websites I frequent with their changing to more graphic intensive web pages that resulted in excessive delays changing pages, I considerately switched to posting thumbnails allowing only those that chose to view the image full size to do so. I am too frugal so I refuse to by a new computer every month just to have the latest high speed processor to be able to view websites.
So the poll is: Post full size pics or thumbnails? Which would you prefer and why?
