Shrinking pictures

Does anyone know why pictures that have been posted shrink after a while? I went back over some of the entries in the Pre War American Flyer Pictures thread that I have been posting to and discovered that several of them have shrunk. They have all been taken and posted at the same resolution, or pixels I guess. I have noticed that it isn’t just the pictures that I have taken and posted that have shrunk and not all pictures in the same post have shrunk. Are there gremlins at work?

Interesting, I have no idea. Unless the file is compressed.

Hi Northwoods Flyer,

Have You gone into photobucket, or what ever site is hosting your photos and re-sized them, for another reason? I believe that if you make any changes to your pics on the host site, it will effect them on the forum also. Just a thought, I still have a LOT to learn about these Boxes of Magic and Frustration, known as computers.

Doug,

I use Shutterfly. I have not gone back to the pictures and altered them in any way. I had the same thought though, that it must be something at the hosting site. I have noticed that the same thing has happened to some of mersenne6’s photos, and I believe that he uses Shutterfly too. I might go back and try to repost some of the ones that have shrunk when I have additional time. I haven’t noticed it happening on any other thread.

Boxes of Magic and Frustration is an appropriate description indeed!

Thanks,

Northwoods Flyer
