I am pleased to let you all know that we have made some changes around the images system for posts. Most notably we have increased the stored image size to 256Kb, which means that you will no longer have those annoying postage sized images on your posts, and will hopefully reduce the need for external image hosts.
You can upload any image file you like (currently there is a 2Mb limit, but we are planning it increase that to 5Mb) and the forum software will resize the image down to the biggest pixel size that fits within the 256kb limit, this means you end up with a decently sized image that we think will work for most use cases. They won't be huge high res images with tons of detail, but they will be way better than the tiny images we've had in the past.
It's a small change for sure, but one we are hoping will be well received and well liked by all of you.
