Large Photo Thread

The purpose of this thread is to demonstrate the new large photo capability of the updated forum software;

  • Maximum file upload size is 1600 pixels/1MB
  • "Intermediate" 720-pixel photo (the one that appears with your post) is automatically generated
  • Clicking the 720 opens your original file - completely unaltered with no compression to browser limit - in the Lightbox Viewer.  Note that the software will downsize a photo to fit the viewer's browser window.
  • Maximum size files can be uploaded/posted in replies

The photo I have uploaded in this post was sized to 1380 X 920 pixels to fit my browser window (1920 X 1200 screen res) with no downsizing. In the vast majority of cases, the limit for no downsizing will be hit on the vertical dimension first, the software downsizing the photo to about 87% of the available space. 

We think this new feature (along with the new Rich Text Editor) will greatly improve the utility of the regional forums.  Please feel free to upload a "large photo" in a response below and check it out for yourself!

Thanks for the info, Jim. Not too sure if I would use it, since I've never use the larger format before. It would be interesting to see how it goes with those that do use the larger format.
