Right that's it. I am well and truly fed up with these forums and their apparent 'anti photography' policy.
It was bad that it was ever changed in the first place from just being able to use the normal img tags to put an image in. But at least we had a workaround.
However whenever I make a post on this forum (usually its about a month or 2 after the last, when I have forgotten just how annoying it is to post images) I am reminded of why I don't post that much any more.
The re size is now beyond any sort of joke. I've started threads on this subject in the past, as have others, and they just seem to get ignored.
It now appears that my images that I personally re sized and sharpened to 954px wide which I have tested to be about the biggest resolution that will display on a 1024x768 monitor without any need to scroll have been resized to 800px and as a result have major sharpness issues.
So not only did I spend time inserting all the {imglink} codes by hand but they were ignored anyway.
If this forum wishes to remain with a decent photography section it needs to sort it's act out and pronto. As far as it seems to me no matter how hard I try to work around this forums convoluted method for satisfactorily embedding it never works anyway.
I totally understand the 1280px max size and the 300kb max size, I think they are perfect.
However if I can't display an image within those parameters in the way I want to see it displayed then I'm sorry but your not going to see many image posts from me and hence many other posts either. If you look at my posting history you will notice that my other posts are generally high around periods I have posted images and low among others. More and more recently I struggle to put up the images I have taken due to all the time it needs to hand write the tags and then when I find that time wasted I just don't know why I bother.
I hope it gets sorted for the sake of the forum.
