GoY Update : 5 MB photos

Hello all,

We had started getting regular emails about our photo file size limit so we have just increased the photo file size limit from 3 MB to 5 MB. For those of you who resize their images before uploading, or who haven’t noticed this being a problem, there is no need to worry about this.

While on the subject of photos we are working behind the scenes on being able to show larger images too. But this, along with larger fonts for the text, is some way off.

Cheers,

Ajay

Thanks, Ajay. Photos up to 5 MB will be useful ...

Thanks, Ajay. Will it be possible to click on a picture and get a screen sized version?

That's a good question as I took a photo of olde worlde items in a pharmacy window, no good posting it though, even with a magnifying glass it's not possible to read the labels on the jars/pots unless it fills the screen !

Hi Bulbaholic, we are not thinking screen sized but certainly larger than what we currently show. Still not finalised on a size so can't really confirm anything just yet.

It's obviously possible to use larger fonts already - so I'm a bit puzzled when you say that it's 'some way off' Ajay??

Hi Spritz, I am talking about larger fonts across the website as default. E.g. if we increase the font under your user icon or if we increase the font on this comment the alignment on the page goes and becomes unreadable. I wish it was an easy change. It is testing & correcting the effects of an increased font-size that is time consuming.

Oh, I see - I think! lol. So not on an individual blog, then , as one member does now?

Blog posts have always allowed the posting of some HTML code for formatting and insertion of pictures. However, we don't promote this as we want to keep things simple for all users.

That's fair enough - I don't think I'm 'techie' enough to try to do more than a simple fonted blog, Ajay! LOL.
