Zucca:
I would love to pay some $$ more (even on a year base) to be able to upload here more data.

For paying supporters it should be at least:

Slow internet connections users they will have problems not only at the EEVblog.
We are in 2019.

250MB per post is pretty big.
I'd have to check with gnif on the server implications of this. Not sure of the current drive size or options.

Strongly disagree, 250MB per post is outrageous, because it will make a crappy forum for everybody else except a few that can afford to waste bandwidth and resources in general.
I'm not saying that for my own interest. My $10/month unlimited traffic 1Gbps fiber optic can download a DVD faster than a SSD can store it (800Mbs sustained download and 200Mbps sustained upload is very common here, Romania is one of the best in the world for its high speed internet at affordable prices), but why would I want to see a 10MB jpeg?
I tried various compression rates and resolution, as suggested by the poll's results. 1024 pixels wide and 50-100KB for one photo is more than enough even for a 32inch/4K monitor and not so sharp eyes, so why serving a photo with a size 100 times bigger than necessary?

In your case I would turn off the image on the browser.
10Mb jpeg is stupid of course. I am talking about real data.
The EEVBlog is one if the finest place for EE Hack, we need to be able to pull and store our data (.zip, .7z., ISO images) here.
RoGeorge:
Turning off the images will be a little too extreme.
Instead, I've just added my own poll to the ignored subjects list. ;D
