    Of photos, necks, chiropractors and MS Paint.

    It's surprising how many photos we've had lately that are at 90° to the logical or otherwise hard to see clearly.

    If posters could take a minute to two to use MS Paint, which every Windoze user has on their system, to re-orient these photos, and perhaps even crop off the extraneous parts such as their feet, the cat, the dog's dish etc., we would be able to more easily view what it is they wish others to comment on.

    Brightening photos, changing the contrast, even inverting the colours (right click the photo in Paint and select "Invert Colors") can also make it much easier to read the entrails.

    Just a friendly suggestion.

    And for those using Photobucket, Imageshack etc. If you don't want all your photos of your sister's wedding, your wife's cooking or your model railway train wreck to be visible to all of us, then make all your albums "private" and we won't have to endure the temptation to explore your other photos, or sit there waiting for that next photo to load, only to find it's not that mysterious Enfield marking, but your cat's birthday party.

    Much changes, much remains the same.
