I can get not wanting to store heaps of large images on the server but by this point GameFAQs should be able to resize or reduce quality to make them smaller instead of just "waaaah big image scary".

Is it related to the Saturn cart expansion limit?

Or you could do that instead of trying to upload some apparently huge ass image.

Deapite taking a screenshot of the image, how else do you compress it?

Most ressources are allocated to the lock and deletion of inconvenient topics. Not enough are left to handle images over 4Mb.

It's not even 4MB. It's more like 2.5MB.

And the images are compressed to fuck anyway after being uploaded.

When you upload from your phone you can choose small, medium, large, and actual size

How uploads from phones work depends on the individual phone (and possibly the browser). I don't get any such option on mine, nor does the stock software offer a way to resize it. I can reduce the size at the time of taking a photo, or crop it; that's about it.

My tablet can resize, and of course it's easily done on PC.

I miss being able to post large high quality gifs or was it webms idr. Anyways I use to spam those on pc and console platform boards and ppl complained that it was lagging their phones or computers. Well I didn't mean to do that it's either the site or their device's fault . Anyways it was amazing when we were able to do that!!

they were 1440p quality and 60 fps iirc and it displayed on this site properly!!! why is that feature no longer available? this was like around 2017/2018 i think

Fair point. I'm used to stuff like iPhone that makes it super easy.
