Forum picture size limits

I made a change to the forums whichs limits the file size of a single attached picture to 400k or less. 99% of the pictures you folks are attaching are well under that size anyway, so this should not present any issues for most folks. I just need to keep the server storage space in check for the long term, and having 5 MBs being used for a single image is not very effective, nor is it web friendly. At 400k that still allows for good sized images that web friendly to view. Remember a computer monitor only displays 96dpi. The 300, 600 and higher DPI rates are only needed when you are trying to print Photographic quality prints.

If anyone needs a link to free software to resize the pictures on your PC, then just let me know.

Thanks,
