Taken onboard... Ive set the max image size to 5000x5000px. So unless you upload an image larger than that, it wont be compressed. I've also taken the watermark off which was contributing to the problem. We tried making people use the gallery to put bike pics in, but it never took off. People don't like change (the fact the gallery is a bit pants and confusing doesnt help either) Ive half sorted this out, now when you hover over the link/image it'll tell you what happens when you click them. I figured if people like the picture, they'll click on it. Once on that page then they can see who posted it etc, it also tidied up the page a bit. I might add back in the poster of the image and maybe the date, it gets pretty messy/confusing then though. Might just do that Very much so, cheers The view image page has changed a bit, theres a handy BBCODE button and its generally been tidied. Any more opinions are welcome.
