Increase image width limit in posts

[aidilj]

Hello,It has been awhile since I notice the quite small image width limit in posting. The limit is currently 800 pixels.I would recommend to increase this to 1000 pixels to do more justice to the pictures. Increasing the auto size limit wont increase any bandwidth usage to the forum or picture hosting since the full size picture will be downloaded anyway..This would greatly improve the experience of the forum users.CheersAidil

Bro AB, it's not that. I'm already using Photobucket, it's the board setting that resizes all picture to be maximum of 800 pixels wide inside posts.

Just like the picture below, at its source is 1280x822 : http://www.diseno-art.com/news_content/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/BMW-i8-Spyder-0.jpg

but when embedded, it would be scaled down to max width of 800 pixels

I see. It wasn't like that last time. So if someone linked a huge photo, only portion of it will show with a slider to move around to see the rest of the photo and it's cumbersome because no matter how you scroll, u only see part of the entire photo. Imaging someone took 3 megapixel photos for a drive event and posting 30 photos at one go, it not only kill our limited 3G mobile bandwidth, it also take forever for those who's on dial-up to load. We as one of the moderator, always receive such complaints and had to PM the owner to reduce the size of their photos. Those were the days.

IMHO, 800pixel is about right for the general display resolution and broadband bandwidth. About same as Facebook. I stand corrected.

Bro AB, I agree a super huge (dimension wise) picture will require scrolling if no width or height restriction is imposed. I'm just suggesting image display max dimension increase not elimination.

About the bandwidth, no matter how big the picture being displayed, the whole jpg file is already downloaded onto our machine.

hehe.. I'm referring to the readers who load the thread, not the poster.. :4:

Yes the reader of the thread already downloaded the full size image, the board only set how big the image displayed would be. A quick check on cached image could prove this.

Just a suggestion anyway.. Cheers

Hehe... I think you are right.. request valid! :4:

On 2nd thoughts, at 800 pixel, I don't have to max out my browser frame to see the full picture. I can still reserve 30% of my wide screen space for other windows frame. There's always a compromise.

Let's hear from Jarance and see what he thinks about this.

Indeed Bro AB, I was just thinking that most of us would like to see bigger pictures, just like going to cinema to watch movies... opcorn:

Give it a try as I have set it to 1,000 pixel now. Previously was 600.

Bro Herbert, it seems to still be 800 pixels, maybe wrong parameter?
