Image size has been restricted for many years. Nothing to do with space requirements. More so to do with larger sizes screwing up the formatting of the forum, if I recall correctly.

Nah i used to post all sorts of images from my computer and linked photos and never had any issues. It may have used to have been like that, but it changed a long time ago as i don't remember ever having to resize. I remember in the first year Sean told me to make a photo smaller in 2008/9 or about then, as it took up loads of room (proof you could post large pictures), but I have been posting images well over 1000 x photos since 2009 and not had a problem until recently. I have always reduced photos to web friendly 1200 x ones and posted them on here. :)
I will troll my posts from the start and try and find it or one that has larger images, i only have to go back before the change over probably. :p:p
Hi, found am image (kind to OP related too) that the forum produced 756 × 600 image and the original image which is 1200 x 952. 95% sure this is the exact image I used so I guess the forum had some sort of resize tool?? I am no expert so I may be wrong, but its the only image like that with the same file name from the same website (as per the signature on the bottom of the image). :)

Looking into this just now, but as far as I can tell there has never been automatic resizing and nothing has changed since the move. Auto resizing would have been an installed mod, which would have come over in the move even if it stopped working, but there's no sign of any such mod being installed.
FYI the database is showing a total of 640 attachments for your account ;)
I guess finding past posts isn't going to prove things either way, if you're claiming the forum auto-resized them...

Can you try now, Toby?
Note that there's still a limit of: -
Width: 2592px
Height: 1944px
Anything exceeding either of these will fail and need to be resized manually (which has, definitely, always been the case).
So if I understand correctly, Toby was right, and everyone else was wrong? :eek:
