I've gone down to 1200 pixels wide. My photos at 1200 pixels wide, are less than 500KB. Maybe you guys should lower your resolution, that determines file content, not the size of the photos. This photo is 1200 pixels wide at a resolution of 240 pixels per inch. I can't increase it by clicking so I guess it's at it's max. size on my screen.
I lowered my photo size so those with slower download speeds wouldn't be slowed down, too much.
But personally, I can't click most of the thumbnails. The process seems slower, harder to get out of, and not worth the bother. I much prefer downloading the post, ready to read.
Phil, is it harmful(filling your storage) to the forum to upload files at 1200 wide with this resolution?
