Hello,
Is there some kind of method or trick to prevent images inserted into a thread on EE from taking up so much space?
Some images contain small details or were snipped from a large area of the screen and therefore having them displayed as large as possible in a post is probably helpful — although any image can be enlarged by double-clicking. However, many (and imo, most) images appear much larger than is needed. This seems to be the case no matter what size the image is originally. The result is often a distraction and breakup of the flow/continuity of the post.
Case in point:
A screenshot from Excel was used at the beginning of a recent post located here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29026717/Relative-vs-absolute-keystrokes-in-Excel-macro-recorder.html
The following image shows the original spreadsheet superimposed over the image from the underlying thread (ie the row headings on the right belong to the original spreadsheet while those on the left are from the image in the thread). As can be seen, 21 rows in the original correspond to only about 14 rows in the thread — representing an increase in image size of ~50%.
![Fig. 1]()
The absolute image size is huge but that is especially the case relative to the spacing and font size used in the thread.
Thanks

I posted a similar query to this one about sharing my Articles with Twitter and LinkedIn that has happily been resolved with the kind help of EE Member "Jeffrey Dake", however one frustrating issue still remains.
I still can't get Experts Exchange Sharing Preferences to accept my Google+ profile URL!
I want to be able to share the Articles I contribute here with my Google+ Account.
Yet when I enter my Google+ Profile URL ( https://plus.google.com/u/1/112260269437115955893 ) which I know to be correct and try to save, I get a Profile not found error as per the pic below.
![Experts Exchange Settings Error Snapshot]()
My Google+ Profile is public so far as I know, so I've no idea why EE claims it can't find the profile?
I've also followed the instructions in Step 2 and signed into my Google+ Profile and added a Custom Link under the Contributor section with the URL "https://www.experts-exchange.com/" , adjusted the visibility to Public and saved my settings.
No matter how many times I've tried, I get the same error and problem when I try to save the preference.
Am I missing something here or is this a bug in Experts Exchange?
Has anyone here been able to successfully enable Google Authorship on their EE account?
As a paid Premium member of EE for many years now, I think I've a right to expect that the features available to me for the price I pay should actually work? Grrr..
Would very much appreciate some help in resolving this frustrating issue.
Thanks..

Ok so I wrote another article to be published on Experts Exchange and at the bottom of the New Article editor, there is an option to "Share on Publish:" for both Twitter and LinkedIn.
If I tick the box to share with LinkedIn for example, I immediately get an error that states: "Social Preferences Your preferences indicate you have not yet enabled sharing with LinkedIn. If you would like to update these settings, please visit "Sharing Preferences" in your Account Settings. I click the Account Setting link and I get a Sharing Settings box pop up.

![Snapshot of Error when trying to to enter Google+ Profile URL]()
Google Authentication is enabled. I enter the URL of my Google+ Profile ( https://plus.google.com/u/1/112260269437115955893 ) which I assume is correct as it works just fine for me in any browser, yet immediately get the error: Profile not found so I can't save the setting.
My Google+ Profile is public so far as I know so no idea why EE can't find the profile??
I've also followed the instructions in Step 2 and signed into my Google+ Profile and added a Custom Link under the Contributor section with the URL "https://www.experts-exchange.com/" , adjusted the visibility to Public and saved my settings. No matter how many times I've tried, I get the same problem ?!
Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in Experts Exchange? Why isn't this working for me?
Would appreciate some help.
Thanks..
