I'm going to up the forum's JPG file size limit a bit more. Let's say 200 kb.

The problem is we've run out of disk space on the server once or twice through the years. Need a balance between allowing pics that show good detail (size) but not overloading the machine & the database.

If there were no size limit, I'm sure people would just upload 4000+ KB pics directly from their phones.

It's a bit of catch 22.
