Let's see... Do I minimize the size of the page and be unable to read anything, or do I leave the page the normal size and scroll back and forth so I can read it? 



Nah - I'll just ignore those posts and hope that maybe in the future, people will take 5 seconds and resize their pictures before they post them.



Right click your picture. In the drop down box click on "resize."



Choose "Medium" or "Large." Attach that one instead. 



Makes it easier to read, and also makes Matt Dralle happy, because you transformed a 3 meg file to a 300 kb file.

For once I cannot complain with your assessment. You however can click on it and it reduces a bit, but you still have to scroll.Larry

I think it's great if people take the time to format their posts and all that, spell things properly and use good prose.  I even like it if they size their pictures smaller unless that costs some detail.  However, I'm mainly just grateful that they take the time to post their experiences, videos, pictures, advice and opinions about flying and if they don't have the time or knowledge to make it pretty, that's still ok and I want to encourage them to share anyway.  Just where I am....



Thanks,

Allan

I agree too.  I recently posted pics not thinking about the size and did go back and edit the post.  That being said, any post that is relevant to Kolb is welcome in my opinion.  My gripe is that there isn't more activity.  Would love to see more pics, more videos, more build logs.



I know that there is tons of info archived but new posts are what generate some excitement about Kolb.  You can't find hardly any discussion, photos or videos about the "new" Firestar II SS.  I know of at least 2 of these flying but if someone was interested in this model they would be hard pressed to find a video of it in the air.



I say post a huge picture of your build progress on anything Kolb!  It's better than nothing!

Speaking of Frustrating Posts, I must add my own pet peeve:  The resource wasting quoted quote of the quoted quote.  I often wish that Matt would eliminate the quote attribute entirely in his forums to keep me from drowning in a sea of blue.  The addition of simple quote marks to a few words or sentences should be more than adequate to clarify meaning in a response to a prior post.  There is NEVER a need to highlight an entire prior post from the same thread.  And when someone quotes the entire quoted response...



And resize the darned pictures too.

Let me just say that both practices are a terrible waste of Matt's precious resources.
