New Image Size Limits

[pete]

New limits on posting images:

details:

Max file size (max each) = 150K
Max total thread size = 600K
Max image size (in pixels) 1024 x 768

For slow connections this is only 20% more than before so that shouldn't be a problem

We have had a lot of new screen art areas & interest here & 800 /100 limits?  ....  - well it's time to move the line.
The new sizes will allow further scope.

Is there still a problem with the "800" pixel width of the Photos/Screen Shot, necessitating a horizontal scroll to view the full width of the picture?

Paul ....1024 X 768 desktop resolution..... 8-)...!

The weight limits being changed are a good thing, but I can't say I feel the same for the size limits....

I thought the increased limits were to reduce compression....but by allowing the width to be bigger it just means there's going to be more compression, plus annoyance for those who will have to scroll for anything over 800 wide ( a majority of people I believe)

just my thoughts on this

Agreed, however i like the idea of the new file size

[Alonso]

Good! But as Mic and Foz, I don't feel the same for 1024x768 limit... That's the resolution on both computers I use...

[Ashar]

Great news on the weight end...Can't say much about the size though...I run at 1280x800...

Thanks for the change Pete and mods 8-)

Check it out for yourselves:

One from my garden last summer..

Please post feedback about the new file size here, did you have to scroll, and your current screen res.

Cheers

[Anark]

Fine at my end.


Then again, I am at 1680x1050.

Pic looks nice Rob but I had to scroll to the right to see the other 40% of the picture. 1024*768 is my desktopsize. It's way to big to be useful in these forums. But that's my opinion. The 150 kb limit is more than welcome.

I run 1280x1024, and I still had to scroll. I think we should stick to 800x600, it works well.

The extra 50k per shot and 100k per thread is excellent Pete, cheers

Looks fine to me on both Firefox & IE6 at 1440x900. I discovered when this problem first raised its head (last time the forum was updated) that it not only depends on your screen resolution but also which browser you're using. IE7 might well be different.

We'll see how it goes but for the time being I'll continue posting my photos at 800x600. I think some people will still have to scroll to see them properly.

[Ashar]

I have to scroll a teeny bit at 1280x800 :-/

[M.R.Maiornikov]

finaly my wish came true.Thank you

BTW that resolution is fne by me also.

[spitfire boy]

Running at 1280 by 1024 and had to scroll. Mind you, I should be upgrading fairly soon... I think I'll just keep my screenshots at 800 wide as I was doing before.
