Those are great - like it was said, the detail in each building is amazing. :love:

(I am not sure if mousies under the bed wouldn't disturb the cat's rest... )

The photos are too large for me though - I mean, I need to scroll on each one, making it hard to see them - and can never see it in full. Does it work for everyone else?

Thanks Tahra ;D . My Playmobil cellar is like a meditation room for me (I also don't have any connection there, no wifi, no 4G, ...) and everyday my mind has new ideas.

About the pictures' size, I guess everyone has the same problem. I saw it in other topics as well, when  you link it from imgur or photobucket. I don't know if there's an option in the forum to crop it when you link it?

Anyway, hereby the links to the imgur albums, I will post these links from now on as well:
Album I: https://imgur.com/a/Jk1Ue
Album II: https://imgur.com/a/uny4h
Album III: https://imgur.com/a/hz98g

Sometimes I could use proper internet and a computer around the playmobil...

I resize the pics before uploading them. I don't know if you can resize them when linking..

You can resize them when linking. Actually, this is what bml87 has been doing. If you look at the code associated with the images in this thread, they include dimensions. The images are sized by putting pixel dimensions in the code thus:

Code: [Select]
[img width=1280 height=960]<address_for_image_goes_here>[/img]
The dimensions in the above code are what most of the pictures in this thread have been posted with. Changing the dimensions (make sure to maintain the aspect ratio) should make them appear smaller.

They're big for me too. It'd be nice to have the recommended image size posted clearly somewhere, maybe on every page. On the other hand, it's nice to have detailed pictures. One trick that works well is to right click and open image in new tab. That way you can see it all unencumbered by commentary.

Thanks Pynedor! I will try to chance the ratio in my next post(s) and I will post the links to imgur as well, so everyone can see the details  :)9

Thanks Pynedor!  Very useful when the pics are not my own!

I have posted a demo of resizing pictures here

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)
