Is there a way you (admin) can adjust the large photo size setting? I recently found that photo size can be changed during upload (something that would help with the slow pic load issue) but the reduction amount for the Large choice is too much, quality goes down the toilet.

Maybe it could be set to 50% of original size?

View attachment 620802I like to use a free app called photo compress before uploading.

An easier way and no data stealing 'free' app way that I've been doing it is just emailing the photos to myself and selecting "large" instead of original size in the email and that seems to put the photo at a good size.

Of course the downside to both methods is having duplicates of every phtoo we want to post.

I used to use klovIMG but a recent change on the photo size limit means I have to do the same rigamarole to upload photos to klovimg and then what's the point.



It would be nice if the settings in the forum could be adjusted so the next size down in the photo upload is not such a large reduction in res.
 
Yeh, I've had to use Irfanview (free BTW) a few times now to reduce the size as KLOVIMG changed the rules for file size. B@5T@rD$. :)
Isn't my life complicated enough? LOL

The Photo Compress app does give an option to delete the original photo after it compresses, so it leaves just the compressed photo after the dust settles, lol.

I mainly use it when photos exceed 6MB
