This is due to the fact that your pics are attachments to your post and not a images from a external site (which use the "img" tag). Attachments are automatically reduced to thumbnails. This is different from Swoosh's concern as he is displaying pics from a external website using the "img" tag and they are dynamically reduced to fit the screen. Example: This is a pic from the magazine scans (from some place that is not the forums): Here's the same one as an attachment (notice "Attached thumbnails" at the bottom): Anything you send from your computer to the forums is an attachment and is resized to a thumbnail. Images that are on the net somewhere and are displayed on the forums using "img" tags are just dynamically resized to fit the screen.

The skin (and all of its parts) of the board is being worked on. Right now, priority is on the database for 5GB of attachments that needs to be rebuilt.

David, if you have an example of where your pics are being reduced to thumbnail size, let me know and I'll look at it under my laptop's screen or under a different resolution.

BTW, we now have spoiler tags built into this version of IPB. So you can hide your spoilers now without resorting to fancy font changes.

Thanks to UN Spacy for this find of a promotional poster for the 25th anniversary concert: (Click on the thumbnail for a larger version)

After some testing, the resizing is based on your current monitor resolution. The reason Hurin or myself probably don't see the problem as well is probably due to the fact that we are using monitors running at a higher resolution. I noticed I had the resizing on a few images. Since your pics are greater than or equal to half of your current monitor resolution (713 is larger than 1/2 of 1024 and 1/2 of 1280), the images are resized. I don't mind this since it would eliminate the need to scroll. My suggestion would be to use an an image hosting site's thumbnail feature to post pics. You can cram more pics in your posts and you can avoid the whole dynamic resizing thingy.

If he's displaying the pics as attachments, then yes, they would be resized. Hot-linking from a external site should be unaffected. The pic on this page looks fine.

The SFX was good. I'll give Bay that. I already knew the plot points from the comic and I didn't care much for the story (don't try to look for one cuz it's quite simple and easy to follow). Action was a bit too complicated at times. Some of the camera angles really started to get me dizzy. And yes, they all felt too complicated, in terms of looks, transformations, and some of the action sequences. That's my take. Popcorn flick, but it might take a few viewings to get my stomach to agree with the food it took in.

*sigh* Some people...

Little blurb: GundamBase is saying MG #101 will not be a CE-based model. Perhaps MG Sumo? MG Turn X? MG Gundam X?

I already read the comic adaption.....I'll just watch it for the SFX....

The line about Hugo Weaving as Megatron makes me wonder if they should have stuck with Frank Welker instead of brushing him off to the game. Guess we'll find out next week.

You know what? This talk is nice and all but it has zero to do with "Macross 25". Until someone has either news or you have some actual comments on "Macross 25", I'm locking this thread until further notice. Anybody who has information about Macross 25 will need to send me a PM (private message) and I will reopen this thread. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START A NEW THREAD ABOUT MACROSS 25. I WILL DELETE THAT THREAD. If you want to start a topic about the future and direction of Macross, be my guest. And just so we don't forget about this thread, I am pinning it up. This is my final warning. No more thread derailments. Talk only about "Macross 25" or 25th Anniversary events and nothing else.

So you're tellin me he's gonna get it on....with a poster...I don't think I wanted to know that. PS: Yes, it's just another animator in-joke.....

People actually voted for Hyaku Shiki???? Didn't the non-plated version + ballute system already tip them off???? The Guntank has been talked about so it's not as if Bandai isn't listening. V Gundam has always been a problem, IMHO. #1 is popularity. #2 is the infamous core-block and transformation system stability. As much as it may be a popular design, it inherits the problems of its predecessors with that core-block and transforming parts.

I think you are reading it wrong. Pay attention to the context of the statement "...At the October this year,...start of television broadcasting..." which means it should be read as it's been a quarter century since SDFM came on the air back in October of 1982. Hence the quote from (Bad Google Machine Translation).

Nope. After running it through a translator, the title is still marked as temporary. Although, it does seem the official working title is "Macross 25".

Besides that 1 interview, which was mostly about the 25th anniversary, nothing else has come out. And why is there talk of M7 in this thread? Cuz people keep comparing it to M7 when chances are, that it will not be like M7, or M+, or M0, or SDFM, DYRL?, or even MII.....Heck, I'd compare it to Aquarion or Eureka 7 than I would any other Macross series. So no more talk of M7 unless there a point to it which directly concerns "Macross 25" (which so far, it hasn't). Otherwise, please use one of the many existing threads. So it has a Autumn air date.... *please let it not be on the same day as Gundam 00* *please let it not be on the same day as Gundam 00* *please let it not be on the same day as Gundam 00*

And we've had our fair share of those over the years. Heck, the only "facts" we have about "Macross 25" can probably be counted on only 1 hand.

Non-bootleg copies of M0 do not exist. Due to mostly ongoing licensing issues, no Macross series has been licensed in North America since Macross Plus. If you want a DVD copy, you will need to find the fansubs and burn those to a DVD.

Based off. It's hard to say what was adapted and what was not since we have no idea what the Varauta production facilities were like. The Varauta-series share similar* power plants and transformations (and possibly some interior framework) to their UN counterparts, but that's where the UN design ends and the Varauta design begins. http://macross.anime.net/mecha/varauta/variable/Fz109.html http://macross.anime.net/mecha/varauta/var...z130/index.html http://macross.anime.net/mecha/varauta/variable/FBz99.html *I use "similar" in the vague sense.

That was from me, in the newbie thread. However, no official explanation was ever given.

No. We don't have an air date yet. The official announcement is during the August 18th 25th-anniversary concert.

So...Joker messes with his old suit and he adopts this one huh?
