Small Suggestion (Image Resizing)
WinBoards is great and all, but in threads where people love to post huge images (ex: Desktop thread) I think it might be useful to have some sort of auto-resize feature for images. You know, if someone has a 1024x768 monitor, and someone posts a 1600x1200 image, it's annoying to have to scroll back and forth to see the whole image - and it stretches out the entire thread on that page.
Maybe it's just me, but even on 1280x1024 I have to scroll to the right to finish reading any posts when there are large images in a thread
Sometimes I make too big of a deal over little things, but this I think (if it isn't too hard to implement) would be useful.
Here's a double example:
FYI, it's a "double example" because it is an example for:
1) How the word-wrap function in posts is changed by a wide image
2) How another forum resizes images to fix this

If you're really fussed, use an image uploader that has resizeable thumbnails. Here's an example.

But considering that the meta tags have been broken for weeks and the text fields for login are still yellow on white, I wouldn't expect this to get implemented any time soon.
I figured it was something like that.
Stitch really needs to fix permissions ASAP, once he's fixed the HDD problems.
I've tried Opera (and like it) but I stick to Chrome on slow(er) machines just because it's quick to launch and quick to operate. Opera is fast as well, but for some reason it can't beat Chrome's instant launch speed.
Firefox takes 30 seconds to open, I can't stand it. Otherwise a good browser, but it slows this PC down.
stitch needs to fix a lot of shit, stitch should start on that now.
You got to it before me since I haven't checked in for a few days... I just hit the "shrink to fit" button on opera and I'm good to go.
Hmm... I'm running a P4 2.8 GHz, 512MB RAM (DDR 400MHz). Even on a perfectly fresh install of XP, Firefox takes 20 to 30 seconds to open for the first time. So, if I've opened Firefox already that session then it only takes 5 seconds. But if I haven't opened it since I logged on / powered up the PC, it takes forever.
Oh well, Chrome is nice and quick to open
Well, that's the beauty of prefetch.
