Store larger sized pictures?

[Valence]

When is Steel Soldiers going to store uploaded pictures in larger formats?

The desire to have pictures self-contained on the website so threads remain valid and pictures don't die on 3rd party hosting is working against itself when pictures are reduced to sizes smaller than computer resolutions of 15 years ago. Sub 1024x768.


Here is what pictures look like on my PC. Look at all the dead space, and I don't mean the computer game. It's hard to even see the trucks in these pictures (at "full size"), let alone any detail. Panoramic pictures look even more terrible.

Interesting. Check the format (as) I post up jpeg 800x600 and they load good and quick, then when clicked on, on page post, they become full size. No problem. Also check the resolution you are viewing stuff in. "950000x 8565 mil" dpi! (pun) as on all these modern go faster pods cams and tablets is super clear And 'midget'!.(When Exported). I like and enjoy real size less ress. just my 1/2 penne'th.

As mentioned earlier from the fundraising from last month, we're looking to move providers. At that point I'll be asking for more storage space. That in of itself is the problem. Most hosting companies have zero problem with the amount of traffic we generate. What they have a problem with is the 5gb of database and 60+ gb of attachments. When you move outside the "normal" hosting of say "5gb storage", things astronomically increase in price. I've got a hosting company I'm pretty certain we'll end up with. Actually will be sending out a email to line up a conference with them this week right after this reply.
