Dear LL,
I think the $12 a year subscription fee is a bargain. I have learned a lot from the LL community, and I sometimes revisit the LL several times throughout the day. My only complaint about the new guidelines is limiting jpgs to 800 pixels on the long side.
I respectfully ask LL to reconsider the 800 limit and increase the maximum to 1200.
Some photographers post pictures exceeding 800 pixels by a factor of 2X, 3X, or more. No question, IT administration is costly--maintaining servers, optimizing data flow, and managing security.
SO, I appeal to the powers that be, to reconsider upping the maximum pixel count to 1200. That is only a 50% increase. 400 pixels matter. Many photos require more than 800 to view and interpret--subjects, processing techniques, diagrams and charts, etc.
Sincerely,.
BobDavid (Robert D. Rosinsky)

What scope will this apply to?
- Pictures included in articles... Or
- Pictures linked to in forum posts?
I believe that the latter has zero cost for LL.
Cheers,
Bernard

I think it's already up to 1200 for some time (at least that's what I have noticed):

Seems to apply for linked shots as well as thumbnails

Bob, I think the policy is neither new nor strict. It is more like a kind request. Many people were posting much larger files that Bruce, for instance.
Posting larger files, however, poses a problem of its own: they often can not fit in the window for image display, unless you expand the browser full-screen. Another issue with larger files is viewing them on iPad: there is simply no way to see them without scrolling.
