Saint replyed to my problem re JPGs in the Forum Discussion and said housekeeping is needed.  Out of space right now. ;)

I had half images and a couple of times it said the pics had errors.

Cameras take bigger and bigger pictures. It's not going to be a popular feature but I think the website should resize the photos down to a more manageable resolution. There's no need to store 12 megapixels photos when our displays can barely display those that are 2 megapixels.

It would result in faster viewing and less bandwidth used for the hosting too.

Maybe a general vote for/against this idea, along with maximum resolution options? (against, for 1024x768, for 1280x1024, etc). Not sure what the photos resolutions should be.

size limits are already in place. Sometimes you want a large res picture
