The 600kb total screenshot rule?

[Bob70]

Am I missing something? My understanding it is 1024 wide max and 150kb per shot for a total of 600kb per post. I know we all exceed that total by a little at times but most try to keep it under 600kb. I have noticed lately that a few members are not paying to much attention and going way over these limits.

It's 600kb per thread bob, some members (and Admins  ;) ) are on dial-up or a slow connection and the page can take an age to load.
It was recently upped from 500kb per thread but more emphasis was put on the single image limit of 150kb as the new width guidelines (1024) along with the 50% image limit increase negated the need for high compression so more quality shots could be posted.
A good point raised though.  :)

They aren't "RULES" Bob ...... they're "guidelines" and those "guidelines" don't always apply to everyone...
For clarification .... just ask Pete  ;) I'm sure he'll let you know who they don't apply to  ;D

Of course they are 'guidelines'.

If a thread is of particular value - such as a tutorial - the 'rule' will not be applied. Greater good.

Totally slack rules means everyone abuses & site becomes a pain to use.

Like  life in general - common sense - initiative - value --etc, take precedence over black & white 'rules'

Overall for general screenshots it makes things a lot easier for everyone if the majority stay within the guidelines. A few of us have been otherwise engaged recently with real life stuff ... some have been missed ... no biggy ....

I guess I was just being to picky. I also go over 600k by a little once in awhile, but I do take the time to check my totals before I upload.
