Thread Title: "New Picture sizing feature and pic display option speeds up auction browse"
AA-bob New feature notice.... We now automatically size all uploaded pictures larger than 600 pixels wide to 600 pixels wide. That cuts down on the download time for buyers. And we've also added the ability for folks to set a cookie that changes the default display of pictures. In other words, if you have a slow connection, you can opt to NOT display pictures, and view them individually. Comments?... -Bob

AA-bob New Page 1

Looks like your auction template you are using is referencing two pictures that no longer exist http://pictures.auctionarms.com/4566164612/ca8e80b39af6f635adfb6ffa76d03986 and http://pictures.auctionarms.com/4566164612/754a813be19bbdcf4910cb983f88579c  I'd suggest uploading the images you want to appear in your auction and changing the image source HTML to direct them to your hosted pictures that you want to appear in the description portion of your auction.

The pictures of the auction item itself are showing up fine.

(no avatar) I noticed the resizing of pictures. Unfortunately, because it's only done in one dimension, it results in the distortion. It would be better if you maintain the aspect ration when resizing, like my editting software allow. This way, it will be even faster because the pictures should be smaller. BTW, 800 pixels wide may be a better standard with today's displays essentially starting at 1024x768. Not too many use 800x600, or hopefully, 640x480 any more!

AA-bob Think we've fixed the aspect sizing problem. It should work fine for new ads and we should have the editing feature set up right away. Once the edit feature is done you will need to edit current auctions, remove the ols picture and upload it again. Thnaks for all who have given us feedback so we could get this taken care of right away. Hope you all had a happy 4th!

(no avatar) Do not like your new picture process. It is too difficult and time consuming to navigate and sincerely hope you put it back the way it was. It wasn't broken. Why fix it???

(no avatar) I have noticed 1/2 of the pictures in MY PICTURES(17 of them missing) have "X" appearing, where did they go? When I relist I don't relize the pictures are missing unless I go into the actual auction or my pictures which I haven't done in the past. I realize I must now retake pictures & repost them, very time consuming. The rest of the site is fine.

AA-bob How long ago did you post your pictures. We only keep them hosted for 90 days.

(no avatar) Lately the pictures I send to AA have not been showing up very well on the actual auction page. I have sized them 1024x768 but all seem to have jagged lines and are not of good quality pix, they look fine on my computer.

AA-bob Sfguy - just took a look at all of your open auctions and the pictures look fine on my machine. Good job!
