Modern phone's captured images aren't 2.5 MB anymore, you know!!
Those images aren't meant to publish online without resizing. Yesterday, I took a picture with my (old) phone. It's 4.5 MB and 4032x3024 pixels. I know there are bigger monitors than mine, but mine can only fit 17% of that image on the screen. That's ridiculous to embed on a website, but could work very well if you post a smaller version that can be clicked to see, scroll and zoom the full version. Maybe TalkImg can offer that for large images: create a thumbnail and add an url-tag to link to the full version. Like this example linking to a 9448x6297 pixels image.I could add this feature. In fact, the script already creates thumbnails of the uploaded images.
The limit could be increased, and then the user could choose the BBCode mining option. The question is: how many would do this? Or remember to do this?
Since the forum's image proxy doesn't allow images larger than 2.5MB, this could cause confusion and would likely complicate an otherwise simple process.
I've been working with images on the web for many years, and I can say that it makes no sense to have images larger than 2.5MB on 90% or more of websites. Aside from sites dedicated to galleries or images, all others having such high-resolution images is completely unnecessary. It's one thing to have a photo to keep for yourself, which can be printed, displayed on a TV or projector, or for a professional project. It's another to have a photo to post online, in a non-professional photo environment, and for general use.
I know we have the zip tool, but sometimes it doesn't work properly! I tried it today and it got stuck at 94% something.
I intend to improve this tool; it still doesn't work as I imagined. But first, I have to release the scheduled update for TalkImg and reorganize myself for other projects. Then I can dedicate more time to the zip tool.
EDIT: Someone make a post, so that in a few days we can release the statistics, "no consecutive posts"...
