Forum processes attached images... poorly

Is it possible the forum is showing you the decompressed file size?

 

EDIT: nope, that's not the case, if I full screen the image and download it, it's twice the size in MB, but it's image size is smaller, so the forum is resizing and recompressing, but probably doing it as fastest path instead of smallest path.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Prompts the question: why recompress at all if the result is worse that the original?

The forum is oddly configured in other ways too. That it actually increases file size by shrinking the image is just the ironic icing on the cake.

Disabling processing of attachments in general and dropping the absurd restrictions on file size and type too would be a good thing to do. You can't even post an untouched game-generated screenshot or a small test case PK4 as it is configured now. I already saw a lot of bit-rot because of the resulting need to link to more or less shabby OCHs instead.

 

Also allowing to search for other terms without having to wait another ten seconds would probably change the search functionality to something that could actually be of use.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
