Hey folks,
although I live in the center of Europe with a fairly good infrastructure I feel annoyed when I open a thread and despite a 16K-landline I have to wait for an image to load. Doubting that my connection is so slow that I have to wait 30 seconds or more to open an image I checked the file size and lo and behold, the JPEG file was 11,1 MB large. Okay, I understand that reference pics should be as large as possible, but just to show something off it is way too large. I understand the urge to upload an image as fast as possible if it looks to be of interest to the community. But snapping it with my phone or camera and instantly uploading it without resizing it is kind of hasty and overzealous.
I absolutely hate it when people send emails with files attached that are larger than 5 MB, and I consider that size as already too big. So why not show a little courtesy and resize your images? Please be considerate.
