I think for the upload results page it should have a 600K warning after we uploaded so we know which to put as links and thumbnails when we go over the per post limit. If it isn't too difficult to code such a calculation to the page 'Upload Results" page.

Thanks

I see this as fairly pointless......If I know how many pictures I want in a thread, I do the maths and work out what size each has to be before compressing them to that size. Normally this is done aiming for a certain size but with some shots higher and some lower so it can balance out (some shots compress well etc)

I post a lot of images. These are not always uploaded at the same time so I really don't see how this would help. (Very often I post more than 8 images in a single topic.) The method I use is to drag all the images I intend posting in a topic into a new folder. Then it's easy to check the exact file size of the folder from Properties.

SSSSHHHHHHH.
Yes I would like a warning but it is very easy to round the sizes of your images.

:-?I thought when you upload, it already tells you the total size of each and then for all together.

I think the 600K limit is useless, and I walk past it anyway.

It changes nothing if I put 800K in one topic, or make two 400K topics.

I must confess that I didn't check my posts neither... But I think in times of nearly everybody owning a high speed (or at least some sort of) DSL connection, 600k + aren't a big problem...?!

Believe it or not, not everyone has high speed internet. If you've had it for years and years, you may take it for granted. It wasn't untill earlier this year when I moved to the city did I get high speed internet. Before that, I was on slow 26k dialup. Normal forum pages were slow, and it took several minutes to load a thread with 500kb worth of images in it.

But it also keeps honest people accountable and posts in check, otherwise people would be needlessly posting large images

I'm in favor of getting rid of the 600k limit too. I think Simv should just have a lower quality text only option for the forums like other websites do. Pictures in posts could just show up as links and the forum could only show the basic text in posts. This way dial up users wont have problems with getting pages to load, and DSL users wont have to take extra time to get pictures within the 150k and 600k limits.  

keep the 600K limit, its not our fault if people want to follow every rule. besides its a simple way to clean out the cyber gene pool

Those of you who break the rules on image sizes and linking are singuarly selfish as you are slowing things down for other users who may not have as fast a connection as yourselves. Now that you've admitted who you are we'll be watching. Any breach will result in the thread being removed!
Don't say we didn't warn you...

Took awhile to respond eh?

I've been rather busy. However not having mega-super-daddy-paid-for broadband I hate people who do these things. It is purely selfish and totally out of order.
