Just a suggestion regarding desktop screenshots...

Many of the screenshots currently posted in the "desktop screenshots" thread are huge in file size and physical dimensions. Those shots totally screw up the page margins and they undoubtedly play havoc with page load speed and the overall bandwidth here at LinuxForums.org
Thanks in advance for considering this suggestion.

Attention admins/mods: thanks in advance for your consideration of these suggestions...

It might be a good idea to start a new "desktop screenshots" thread occasionally, too. The current one is becoming rather huge. Perhaps a yearly thread, or something all the way down to a monthly thread would work better.
