You got up to 65 meg during the time that we had no limits in place.

As such, though, you painfully wasted so much space by uploading your build pics...with most at 800k per image!

Worse than that, though, from a space point of view....you just took the images that you already have online in your Fotki Gallery...and just duplicated them in your CC Gallery.

You could link those Fotki pics into posts without ever having to upload them anywhere else.

If your build pics were 80k instead of 800k in size....

...you could have 250 pictures in your gallery.
Before this mess I had no knowledge of megs or 800k/80k per image. I'm a car guy, and the camera worked just fine out of the box. My 35 mm SLR was easy to use but a pain in the ass to develop photos just for me to look at.
As far as Fotki is concerned, I pay 30 bucks a year for keeping all my photos there, including my car stuff. I thought linking to my Fotki site reduced the image size?
I came here because I'm into Cobras and Ford stuff. I enjoy all the other galleries and hope other guys like mine. If you want me to delete all my stuff here, just say so. And what's this 'contributing member' all about? I'd never heard about being a paid member before. If you want some money for membership (or the privilege of a photo gallery), just say so also and I'll send a check. As far as megs and pixels, I'm just starting to learn about resizing my pics and just the other day changed the setting on my camera. The hard part is not knowing what's going on until something changes here. I'm still not sure how to correct my photo issues here, but I don't think I'm alone. You should be a little more understanding of those with less website constructing than yourself.
