Photo Quality

[Bob McV]

Bit of a personal windmill I want to til at today.

What is it with all the showcases and other ads full of photos around the 150x150 size? we don't live in 1988; bandwidth isn't measured in bits any more. Please ladies go ahead and post that VGA sized 640x480 photo at least.

Am I alone on this or do other guys look at a thumbnail sized photo and think "well if she posted such a small image there must be a reason, wonder what she is hiding?"

Or should I STFU and invest in a magnifying glass?

Go up to url and add m. before it, it will switch to mobile version. In there you click on thumbnails and they become full size pics.

Like this one I chose randomly from ads:
http://m.eccie.net/providers.php?do=view&id=80223

You shouldn't have to add the http:// it was added once I did it and copied link.

Umm, I know how to click on things, I am saying when the full sized image IS 150x150 (or 150x116 in this case) like in the example you site.

And they use them wherever they advertise. So on other venues that have an "enlarge picture" option, it is no help.
I mostly view this site on a laptop and it's easy to zoom in, but the pic becomes grainy and pixilated quite quickly.
Perhaps the have their phones set to the default resolutions and don't know how to change it? Or maybe they have it set low to save memory space in their phone?

Provider showcase allows one pic that's big and the rest are 150 x 150 just like avatars. They have no choice in that. It's the eccie system. Ads are a different story.

Um, no. Those are thumbnails, not the actual picture size limit. Click on them and they enlarge. Bob is asking why providers don't upload bigger pics. I don't know what the actual size limit is, but judging by how they appear on my laptop monitor (which is 1080 lines of res), the biggest seem to range around 800 pixels vertical height.

that's not true at all, Lets take a look at a local celebrity:

all of the thumbnails link to a nicely sized photo. I don't know if it is ignorance or apathy either way today it's stuck in my craw that I am looking at tiny little pictures of hoogars !

I don't use a mobile ap. Always my PC when I'm cruising showcases so the thumbnail pics come up in a decent size when I click on them. Likewise, when I create pics for someone, I web-size them to roughly 620x480.

Very few of the ladies take the time to work up their photos - MHO. Thanks to those that do.

"local celebrity"?! she is cool ass shit though.

I think it has more to do with not knowing the basics of digital image size/resolution and less to do with hiding something. unless it's obvious something is being hidden.

but I'm an optimist who likes to think--for example--that all boobies are real. I mean, why not? it costs nothing to think that. and if they aren't, then they're just really big. no downside.
