Been noticing this trend off-lately - most newbies seem to upload sheer bandwidth hungry pics to the thread. I need not point fingers here - we already have classic instances of the same!

Is there a way we could limit the resolution of the pics being put up? Yeah we do know it scales down once all the pics've been completely loaded but this's sacrilege - putting up close to 10 images at 6~7 MP resolution! I honestly believe 1024x768 is a fairly good resolution for the discerning human eye to see the stuff and most of its details to a fair extent.

If they're adamant enough not to put up scaled-down images, let them put up thumbnails instead!

Or at least a *56k warning* sorts in the title?

Mods & Admins, pl do something about this!

TIA
 
We are already considering the situation and most of us are annoyed with those high resolution images that members post just after copying from digital/phone cam.

It is very annoying and members should understand that we live in India where internet scenario is pretty despairing . We are trying our best but members should cooperate too. We even have created Image hosting guidelines http://www.techenclave.com/site-announcements/image-hosting-guidelines-a-must-read-136550.html

and easy to understand and use thumbnails guidelines http://www.techenclave.com/guides-and-tutorials/image-posting-guidelines-a-must-read-130545.html ..

But if this keeps on going we have to resort to infraction :P
 
Totally agree with you DS! We've already had a huge debate over the ISPs & the speeds with immense participation from greenhorn, shripad, XT IIRC! I do not want this thread to go in the same lines but would love some sincere action being implemented ASAP!

Do you use a thesaurus while typing? :ashamed:
