Is there any chance to have the file size limitation for images be raised to 150k or 200k? Many people use iphones and the images are usually <150k. But, since we have a limit of 100k on this site, the images must be downloaded, resized in some app, and then uploaded. This extra step could be avoided...and, it is a step many people have no clue how to do. I know we are trying to limit bandwidth and storage, but I don't think the quantity of photos we have should not overburden us with a 50k increase.

We did increase it a couple years ago to 100K then image hosting sites became popular. I use photobucket to host mine and can still resize the photos, on this site, to whatever size I need. You can also host them here: http://zip-zero.com/wmas/imageUpload.php

Ya, I know I can host them elsewhere, that is what I do.
 
But, instead of:
shoot, save, upload photo(s) to WMAS, select the photos you want from library
 
it is
 
shoot, save, upload to photobucket (or other), copy share URL, post to WMAS, rinse, repeat
 
I know how to do this, but many do not, and even though I know how, it is a bit of a pain (getting each of the photobucket URLs) especially with multiple photos since the built in tool for this forum is way more elegant and you basically have a handy archive when you post.

What would be the approximate hosting cost to make this happen?  If its not too extraordinary I think you could solicit donations specifically to accomplish this goal.  I have my own photo hosting (links below), but it seems it would make it easier for most users to do what thefu is requesting. I would be willing to donate for this enhancement.

That HAD to have changed in the last week since I KNOW I tried uploading and it told me 100k, now it does say 150k...this is much more reasonable.

Thanks!

I recommend changing Terence's access to a 50k allowance. That will keep him busy uploading pictures for a whileWink

Maybe at a 50k file size I wouldn't be able to see the lettering on that stand. JK.

Can you change the file compression or image size so the files are smaller?

Terrance,

There are multiple reasons the file size is small.  Server space is only a small part of this.  Other reasons included reduced page ranking, pics being too big and causing scrolling issues, etc.

The good news is when version 10 is release it will hopefully support ASPJpeg and the upload utility will automatically shrink your file for you.  Until then you will need to shrink the file yourself (this is easy) or use a third party gallery to host your pics.

Ya, my old iphone was 2Mp, and the files were usually under 150k, the new one is 3Mp I think. Trust me, I know how to shrink images, thats not the issue...I have been using photoshop forever (v2?). It's just another PITA step. It is just so much easier to email a photo to myself, save it, and then upload it without resizing it or using a service.

I guess I will suffer until the next version...hopefully version 10 is faster too...this forum software is still kinda doggish.  Whats the ETA on the upgrade?

Isn't the desire for instant gratification a b**ch.
