pictures specially calculated to be front page size make me giggle at their pretentiousness

FAQ asks people to post at that size

( lemonhead, Mon 17 Oct 2005, 23:23, archived)

I know that
it's when a picture is made exactly 280 pixels wide that makes it look like they're saying "this is worthy of a front page, i'd better prepare for one"

Still better
than photoshopping pictures of zombies or diseased people or whatever that crap is.

so make it 285 just to make sure it doesn't
why do people make comments like this? either you like the picture or you don't

^ this
it's just a good guideline size, even if something isn't going to get on the FP.
( Mushroom, Mon 17 Oct 2005, 23:25, archived)

is it really such a neccicary guideline size in these days of 4meg broadband?

i feel 280px makes me more inventive
like the file size it give you a challenge
( mongychops you don't like him and he doesn't like you, Mon 17 Oct 2005, 23:35, archived)

yeah
I agree

I suppose in your case you have to test yourself to see just how much bad taste you can get into 280 pixels ;)
( Mushroom, Mon 17 Oct 2005, 23:37, archived)

i'm always fluffy to 4meg

i actually have a 280 pixel wide blank gif i open in Paintshop when trying to inspire myself.

however you'll be pleased to know i've never been frontpaged.

TJ - There was just a Head and Shoulders advert on the telly
