I have just analysed the pictures uploaded into JowettTalk. Over a third are greater than 1MB, 14% greater than 2MB and 7% greater than 3MB. Whilst some may deserve some clarity with more than 700KB, please can we use some picture compression software prior to upload.
I intend to introduce an updated version of the forum this year which has some useful additional facilities including attachments.
Upload picture compression.

UPLOADING IMAGE TIPS
Hi gang.
In reference to the above post. Perhaps every one of us should re-read about the things that should be done before uploading our pictures?
Take a look at: http://jowett.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=726
. . . posts on there tell how to help to comply with Keith's plea.
Personally, I find that images of around a maximum (on one of the sides) of 500 to 600 pixels is will give a final picture on the forum page that's about the "old fashioned postcard" size . . . usually good enough to show any detail. Some, more expert than I, may say "even that's too big" . . and there's probably more to it than I realise.
Perhaps a detailed, step-by-step tutorial of where to find the file size and actual dimensions of a image, as well as the method of changing these when using commonly used PC programs, should be written by an expert with the knowledge. Or, maybe a link to a place ("File Resizing For Dummies"?) where this is already explained, could be suggested by someone?
Those HUGE images mentioned by Keith certainly would take up loads of resources (hard drive space and download/upload too) . . expensive for all concerned.
Leo.
EDITED:
P.S. I found this link a bit later. While it seems to be focused on printing, it may be a useful read
