I agree with Doug!
I think it is foolish to speak in absolutes, but I understand your frustration.
I agree with Leadfoot. I would call it QT with a strong chance that it is market acceptable. My concern is that the OP is showing us want he...

Is there something wrong with the photo auto-resizer in the program software? I know that v-bulletin has the capability because other forums have it.
Wanna bet! He started the thread right after he got here. It got ugly and it got moved. Doug will have to settle the debate!
I clearly remember responding to a thread of his about this subject right after he joined the forum. I can't find that thread now. I wonder what...
