Under the Requirements for Uploading Images to the Forum section, the image needs to "be under 200K" in size.

Under the Uploading an Image to a Post section, the Upload Images graphic says they "must be under 300KB".

This is confusing, and as the window that pops up when I'm loading a picture says under 200KB, would it be possible to replace the 300 graphic with (name in button has been anonymized):
?

I also have a question about the yellow highlighted block that requests images not go over 600 (or so) pixels. I have seen images that are up to 800 pixels, although still under 200KB, and would like to know if this is okay, or is it a perk of senior members?

Thanks and regards,
B.G.

In short, in my experience "must be under 300KB" is incorrect. It should be changed to 200KB.



My extra 2 cents: most of the images that have uploaded successfully are about 230KB and below. This probably means some of the machines I work on store images less efficiently than the SCF servers.

The limit is 200kb, if anyone has any troubles uploading please contact me and I can help (but I do not have the ability to change the forum code base).
