LARGER IMAGE FILES CAN NOW BE UPLOADED

[Algenon5]

Thanks to Blue's Christmas present to FF of a significant
server upgrade, individual image attachments can now
have file sizes as large as 256 KB.

How do we stand on uploading other types of files, such as .htm? Can this be enabled?

Ask the Boss.

Sorry, Smudge, htm and html files are not allowed as attachments on the message board.

Thanks to Blue's gift of a robust new dedicated server for FF, there no longer is a restriction on the file sizes of posted images. (The top limit had been 254kb per image.) However please be sensible about using this new freedom. The new server's uploader is very fast, but many members' internet connections aren't. Avoid posting image files larger than 1MB.

Also, images should have a maximum width of 778 pixels (approximately 8 inches). The exceptions being images intended as full-screen desktop wallpapers, and those intended as the working images for maximum-resolution photo-manipulations. If you want to contribute many images larger than 1MB, or wider than the FF standard width of 778 pixels, upload them to a file sharing site like MediaFire which members can easily access.

All other image posting regulations remain in effect. (See HOW TO ATTACH IMAGES TO YOUR POSTS.)

There no longer is a restriction on image widths, which had been
778 pixels (approximately 8 inches). The FF board's new configuration
automatically downsizes wider images to fit the available viewing
space. However, when you download an image, it appears on your
computer at its full width.

Excellent feature, Blue.
