after hearing the same gripe about that from others i've always made my forum images to be 800x600. In my gallery, the general size is an atipic 1124xsomething. If you wanna see it all, you could just save it on your computer and load it in an image viewer. that will make the image look smaller. shrug E~ (and i never go past 300kb on my pics in the gallery unless i have to for quality's sake)
