Maybe this question\answer belongs in another thread, but pertains to photos for the Dictionary.

Is there a cut-off on maximum file sizes we can add to? Say as 1024x768... or can it go big as 1200x900?

The dictionary is something I add manually so the photos can be any size.

Alright thanks. Later after posting I found some slightly larger newer one's posted.. as most are older and taken at smaller sized pixels.

Was wondering if it might have been mentioned before but didn't find anything with search.

Yes, a lot of them are super old so I took what I could find in the Gallery.

You are correct that newer ones are typically larger as people often post larger photos now.

Why not add an option to not show images by default for people with slow internet connections? Replace each image with a little "click here to view image" icon and they can choose to view the photos if they deem it necessary. This could potentially reduce load on the servers as well since when opening a image heavy thread they wouldnt all load right away.

This is something you should turn on/off in your web browser rather than have the site do it.

This way you can control it for everywhere you visit.
