When I'm uploading images to the forum they are compressed when displayed. By this I mean that the image you see when clicking on it, even opening the link i a new tab, is smaller than the one uploaded. In this topic i uploaded several pictures. If opened they only display at 960x540, while the same uploaded image on my profile is 1920x1080. So, whats up here? Something I'm not getting? The uploaded images are .png if that helps in any way.
Images being compressed
Hey there,
@bane@fetchfox I'm looking at this. Will get back to you shortly.
Edit: So, all images uploaded through the forums, are put through a sizer "scale_super" with those image constraints. It keeps our webservers from having to serve 10MB image sizes, and bring us to crippling performance. We can't support unlimited file sizes, but we could offer large image support. I don't think asking for 1080 is crazy, will just have to run it by designers.
@jslack: Thanks for the update. Would it be possible to limit by file size and not image resolution? 1080 is on its way out as far as PC games are concerned so a 1080 limit isn't going to do much for those of us that have already moved on to 1440/1600/4K monitors.
I've got some 1440 screens of Dragon Age waiting to upload. The PNG files range from 2-6 MB each while the JPG versions range from 1-3 MB each.
