To help keep everyone up to date without having to wade through a ton of pages, a wiki for the Super 8 ARG has been created.

Partially in celebration of the fix to YouTube embedding, and partly because it will undoubtedly be relevant to this viral:

If you would like to suggest others make use of the feature and would like them to read that post for help in doing so, here's a handy thing you can add to your post:

Sorry to double post, but this is to address a way to help with images stretching the forum.

If you feel you'd rather not attach an image as suggested above by Mikeyj (still the best option really), you can use some post coding to keep the image within a 1024x768 display area. Yes, many people still have 4:3 aspect ratio monitors and for the sake of visibility stay at such a resolution.

If you resize the image before embedding, make the image 720 pixels wide or less. This allows for the left frame with the user info and avatar without invoking a horizontal scrollbar in a maximized browser window @ 1024x768. If you feel that too much detail is lost, you could provide a smaller thumbnail with a link to the full sized image. Most photo and image hosting services offer this capability. If you are hosting the image from a source that doesn't support thumbnails, and are not up to creating them manually, read on.

To embed an image resized to fit properly, use the following as your code template:

No no no, you replace the zero with the size you get from the calculator. the width should always be 720. That keeps everything in the image proportional.
