    I have recently been unable to post my photos for TOTM and Photo of the month due to the maximum size limit of 4MB. On many newer phones with better quality cameras you end up with the file sizes Being around 4.5-6 MB. Would the forum not be able to raise the limit? It's impractical to continuously resize images for only forum use.

    Thanks.

    @Hendre

    Not sure if it can be done or the implications as it falls under Admin and not the Mods but lets tag @Zebra Pleco

    If there is no storage complications in a sense of what the website host is being paid for it should not be a issue to increase the image size.

    Think we also need to take into account storage for the whole website and content on it that is why external photo/video hosting sites is better to use..

    I could be wrong as my knowledge is limited

    I'm wary of external image hosting after the whole photobucket fiasco...

    Sorry for the delay in replying. Image uploading has been increased from 4MB to 10MB, hopefully that will suffice.
