I was assuming this forum ran PHPBB software, but yes- it should resize the image, so it won't be unfriendly to the poor guy in the cabin in the woods. I live on an island that could almost qualify as third world and I have wireless Internet. It would just allow you to download the image without resizing. It is a pain to resize, and it takes up a lot of hard drive space to store extra images. Also for the iPad the resizing apps cause pixelation of the image, and as someone mentioned, I am not going to download some third party software to do this.
Just asking in in hopes of making it easier. These days even phones put out rather large images. I would post a lot more if I could more easily post pics. Millions of hits but comparatively few posts- just an observation.
