Tell me about it i've had countless pics removed just because it was slightly over that yet we have a HIGH QUALITY SCREENSHOT thread with massive ones. Anyone would think we are on 14" monitors still
Your pic was perfectly fine fella

Some of us are on 3" screens these days ;)
This rule has been discussed several times recently and if we were just considering home PC's then yes it would have been increased - but with the growth of portable devices the decision has been made to keep it as it is.

Jokester please allow larger screenshots in threads created by that member, for example if i create an indie thread i should be allowed to have some pictures over 1024!. I can understand the rule in threads such as BF3 though

Inline images can be disable in the CP if people don't want to see them.
I don't see why a forum full of people mostly using 22-24" screens should be limited to 1024px just because some people also browse this section on mobile phones.
Surely at least the PC Games and Photography section can be exempt from this rule, it's where you expect to see high resolution images?
Phone uses should either not visit this section, disable images in CP, or just simple scroll like we used to 10 years ago when screens were small.
Not a diction, just my 2p. :p

I feel that pc gaming/consoles and photography could do with larger images, 1024X is a very small image size to show off photography and gaming images. Perhaps an increase to 1280x in the rule as many of us have 24"+ monitor sizes. If the rule is because of hand held devices that's a little unfair as these Games and photography are best viewed in larger sizes, you can also turn off images in CP.

No arguments please, could we have a poll vote!

No leave the image size as is
Yes we need a bigger image size rule

Please don't close the thread, thanks
 
I wouldn't say ignore as that's unfair, sometimes people just forget :)

Everywhere has a rule but sometimes rules can be changed, especially if the rule doesn't apply to todays situations.

CaptainRAVE - What about large images allowed ONLY in spoiler tags?, that would be a great rule

Larger images in spoiler tags are currently ok.

Great

Could this be added to the rules then?

Anything over 1024x must be in spoiler tags, so if a member doesn't do this perhaps a mod can put it in spoiler tags on a first time basis. Don't expect mods to do this all the time ;)

Leave it as it is. We all have huge monitors now yes. But I doubt most browse these forums full screen on their 27" monitors. I for one have it to one side while I watch tv. Big images will spoil the browsing experience for most.

But how many threads have massive pictures?, if it's a one off i don't think members should be castrated for it.

The spoiler tag rule for large images so far is looking the best way forward i feel
 
Longbow said:
With that argument I could say I only run at 800x600, and thus images should be less than 800px wide.

Should people respect that? Not really, at some point you have to adapt and move on.


I posted some high resolution images that had been released for the upcoming game Company of Heroes 2, in a thread titled that. I don't want to have to resize nice 1920 x 1080 images to 1024 which just wouldn't do the screenshots justice.

Spot on

What I think is more of a joke is this thread. I can't believe people care soo much about something like this and willing to whine about it. It is how it is just leave it and get some sleep. You got a infraction on a online forum it's not the end of the world. Africa aids people dieing and stuff etc.

Oh thanks, i wanted a mature discussion a debate on a rule and my thread is a joke :rolleyes:, haven't insulted anyone and remained calm throughout

This is why GD is a pathetic part of the forum full of people with an attitude problem willing to give someone grief over simple things

With decent forum software it would automatically resize the images and you can click for the full image.

Ah i remember that one, if you pressed the + sign it would increase to it's original unpress it and it would turn back to 800x+
 
Vegeta said:
Attitude is all from you mate. I was referring to DG calling the rule a joke. Now go have some ice-t and chill out. I know the whole worlds against you as you can't post a image bigger than 1024 and it's a massive issue in all our lives that must be rectified right away!

Give over

Next time mention the member not the person who created the thread, it isn't a massive issue i'm having a MATURE discussion over something that i'd like change to suit a wider group. If larger images are to be spoiler tagged only than that would suit both sides
