Centering of pictures

It seems to me that many of the pictures I view on this site isn't centered in the middle of the page.  Some, particularly pictures that was layed out here before this new web page program now being used, seem to be cropped on the right side with a few cm. 

How come?

I've moved this to the "About the Leica Forum" section, where you're more likely to get a reply.  The section where you originally posted it is just for photos and comments on them.

 

I used to be able to center photos on the old forum, but I do not know how to do that now.

When you post a picture use the "More Reply Options" button at the bottom left and you'll find a small symbol (2nd from the right on the lower tool bar in the Reply box) that is 6 short and long interleaved horizontal lines.  Click this symbol to centre pictures or text in your reply.

Another way to do it is to give your picture a background.

 

In the More Reply Options press the Special BB Code button (third from the left on the top tier of buttons) and, having selected the link to your photo, choose one of the background options. This has the effect of centring the picture as well as making sure that your picture is viewed against a background colour of your choice.

You do need to highlight the text of the attached file before clicking the center button though.

This will make the photo sit in the centre of anyone's screen, provided it is wide enough to take the max forum image size, although the forum software will scale down the image size for smaller screens.

Andy,

 

(In Safari) clicking anywhere in the line centres the text or picture without needing to highlight. I haven't tried it with IE, Firefox, Chrome, etc so perhaps someone could confirm if it's the same in those browsers.
