just checked the post and the forum has resized the photos so its hard to see the writing on the left. 
WHY
thats a silly setting on the forum, ok resize the images, but allow us to change the sizes back to the correct size if needed,
or at least set the image width to  1920 so thats its the same size as a standard widescreen monitor
I understand that if you post a 4096 pixel wide image its going to be huge and needs to be made smaller,
but something thats taken off of a wide screen monitor resized to it fits a NORMAL 1024 monitor,
maybe you should resize the images to 240 pixels so that they dont scroll off of the side of phones.

Click on an image and it will re-size to the original size. You'll also end up with a horizontal scrollbar at the end of the post. The forum setting is there because folk insisted on posting pictures of all sorts of silly widths, which meant needing to use the horizontal scroll bar all the time. With things set this way you can at least read the post without messing with scrolling in two directions at once.

...and just for interest's sake, here are a couple of window captures.

The first is about 1024 wide:

The second one is about 1280 wide:
