Perhaps,

There's no "perhaps" about it.


--- Quote ---but in some other cases like a detailed image of a large PCB, there really would be a good reason to have that level of detail.
--- End quote ---
Certainly true - but from my experience these are very much the exception.


--- Quote ---A 1080p/1MB "soft limit" might be an idea, where the user would be asked if they really intended to post something bigger.
--- End quote ---
I get what you're saying - but I fully expect there will be many that will see this as something they can click past, rather than fix.


--- Quote ---I wonder if a large percentage of those who post pictures well above 1080p without intending to do so were posting from a smartphone or tablet.

--- End quote ---
This may be - but it still imposes a burden on others.

For paying supporters it should be at least:


--- Quote ---Restrictions: 25 per post, maximum total size 250MB, maximum individual size 10MB
--- End quote ---

Sorry - in the context of this thread, that is a rather selfish view.  The issue is not the limits imposed on a member when posting, but the impact it has on other members.


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

Sorry, but I find this attitude arrogant and bordering on offensive.

I would prefer the forum accept large images but maybe automatically create a "small resolution" version of pictures bigger than let's say 1600 pixels wide.
Have those compressed with JPG 75% quality or something like that... most such images would be under 100 KB in size. if I click on the image, I can get the 5000x something 2-5 MB full size picture.

People are more and more taking photos with their phones which use stupid presets like JPG 95% quality or higher, so they take 10 MP+ pictures that are 3-5 MB each.
This forum's "image upload" feature is very cumbersome, you have to admit.

A default option on the dialog to downscale it to 1080p should fix the lazy part. Actually make them uncheck the option if they want to post full resolution.

Is there a decent open source and easy to use crop and scale app for Android? A quick search finds one for cropping (LLCrop) and one for scaling (Send Reduced), but two apps to process a single image is a bit excessive. I haven't looked too closely since I don't really have a use for such an app - I just use KDE Connect to send it to a PC and use the full desktop version of GIMP for all image editing.

That would work - but the question becomes one of how such a facility becomes included in the SMF software.  Dave or Gnif certainly would not want to get into any sort of custom mod - and I would not expect them to as this would turn into a maintenance headache.
