Hi LRT,
Any relation to "Lewis Roberts-Thompson" ?? Ex Swans Player, good one actually.
Anyway, yes you can upload slightly larger ones, but it is good enough for the site and the photos are good enough for the average computer screen and even up to TV size. There's a bit of a misconception that you need a big file size for good images, well yes if you are going to use it for artwork on the sides of Buses etc. but all it does is place a bigger load on our limited storage space that's not really required and slows the loading time right down.
BTW when comparing both your test images the 397kb version is great while the 27kb version is just way to small isn't it ?
I'll have to say that this is an issue that we are going to have to address as I spend quite a lot of time reducing posters image size so that they'll even show on the thread opposed to just seeing a link.
It's all part of this sites evolution I guess so please don't feel bad about it, it's merely a learning curve so to speak.
Cheers,
BB.
