Just something I've always been curious about re: adding images to a post.

If you upload an image via the main upload page (vMy Topics/Edit Profile --> uploads) it will allow an image dimension up to 1280 px width (resizing any larger images to that size)

Yet if you upload an image through the in-post "upload image" tab it will only allow a max width of 1024 px

Just seems odd there is different functionality between the two upload options. I tend to use the main upload page exclusively because of this even though it is less handy. Any chance this could be a quick software fix?


Examples:


An Image uploaded through main upload page:
HR983-017.jpg

And the exact same image uploaded through "Upload Image" (is automatically resized down to 1024 px)
HR983-017.jpg

The image uploading code was written maybe 15 years ago. The quickie uploader in the forum was primarily to support images in forum posts. That size made sense back then in terms of screen sizes and internet connection speeds. The other upload features were originally intended for reviewers.

I could update it. Not sure that I want to. I don't think that content producers would appreciate this forum being full of large, high-quality images. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ah, thanks for the explanation!
Yea, I don't see the difference between 1280/1024 being a particularly meaningful step in 2024 (such that people would start suddenly archiving posted content) so I would vote in favor of unifying both to slightly larger size. Anyway, thanks for responding!
