Can we discuss the 800 pixel limit for posting images? [View all]

I can understand why this limit was put in place quite a while ago when people might have been bandwidth challenged or had limitations with their computer monitor. IMO those days are gone and I personally don't see a reason for such a small image limitation. Is it possible for us to up the limit on image sizes posted here, even 1200 pixels on a side would be a big improvement in image quality.

thanks

I think another issue is bandwidth. Are we putting more alfredo Nov 2014 #11

No burden on DU's servers. ManiacJoe Nov 2014 #14

I am at the low end of high bandwidth at 3mb. We shouldn't have ceded control to alfredo Nov 2014 #15

Actually, that shot is 800x600. ManiacJoe Nov 2014 #13

Inspect element says 1024X768 opened in new tab alfredo Nov 2014 #16

Yes, the pic alone in a new tab is large. ManiacJoe Nov 2014 #17

So it has been decided, stay with 800X600. :) alfredo Nov 2014 #18

The size limitations are only CC Nov 2014 #10

The 1200X900 is fine on my iPad. I don't know about phones. alfredo Nov 2014 #12
