I did change my settings to "classic" to see what this was all about, and with my laptop, the bigger photos were not fully visible on my screen. I had to scroll to see the full photo, and that is beyond annoying to me. I have no doubt that I would not vote for a photo that is too large, partly because not seeing the photo on the screen takes something away from the impact, and partly because it would just bother me.

I am assuming that if I leave my settings at "standard", I will not have this same problem. And if that is the case, it will not matter at all to me.

A lot of the distress about longest side is due to the Standard/Classic account setting mnhtnbb Jan 2016 #5

If your image is in portrait mode, it will mean scrolling, even at the old standards. alfredo Jan 2016 #8

Yes, but Curmudgeoness Jan 2016 #11

I'd be easy staying with the 800X600 as long as the 300k rule is slackened alfredo Jan 2016 #13

Me, too. Solly Mack Jan 2016 #18

Still, some of my images just work better large. alfredo Jan 2016 #19

Some do, some don't. The option would be nice. Solly Mack Jan 2016 #20

True. alfredo Jan 2016 #21

That is a consideration. Solly Mack Jan 2016 #22

If you are shooting wide angle, a lot of info is crammed into the frame. alfredo Jan 2016 #7

I'm OK with changing the size/dimension allowed. Solly Mack Jan 2016 #9

If you don't know how to re-size just CC Jan 2016 #10

Response from Skinner: ManiacJoe Feb 2016 #43

Would it make sense to keep size limits for the image in the post with a link to to full size image? Make7 Feb 2016 #44

That would work very well for individual posts. ManiacJoe Feb 2016 #45

There are options - automate the process and/or make it part of the submission. Make7 Feb 2016 #46
