Picture size for posting

My wild guess is that all may be caused by misinterpretation of the following Wiki info:

Wikipedia wrote: To produce the sharpest images possible on an LCD, the user must ensure the display resolution of the computer matches the native resolution of the monitor

It's a long shot thought

Interesting, does that get back to the Dyxum request that we submit smaller files and that Dyxum's scripts do not themselves resize images? However, the Dyxum guidance does indicate that Dyxum expends time and effort resizing images before judging. May be two different issues.

If Dyxum simply requests the end users browser to resize that does nothing to help users with limited bandwidth. The entire file is transmitted, and it is only the display that is downsized. Internal display bandwidth is not the problem. If that is the case, why bother? Go directly to file sizes to respect bandwidth limitations.
I'd suggest adding an option for basic HD images at 1280x720. Here's how the whole thing would look as you described in the language I use to avoid me making syntax errors.

current logic and add basic HD:
If HD-width and HD-height = image-width and image-height then exit
Elseif image-width or image-height > Dyxummax-width or Dyxummax-height

.msgBody img, .PMmsgBody img {
    max-width: 1024px;
    height: auto;
    max-height: 900px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}
Endif

or perhaps when Dyxum image linking to remote source files remove the browser resizing request and replace it with a line to enforce image file sizes (currently a little less than 1mb).

If imagesize > max-size exit and show error message
    link remote image
Endif

If there wasn't the column on the left of the page I wouldn't need to. Just click this icon and feel good Tested on on my 1280x800 Win10 tablet/hybrid (Gee! It's not 16:9 but 16:10! OMG, Dyxum should take this into account - this is industry standard for such devices in the end! )

Eeee , fancy that eh !
Now they all fit on the screen with the last one being a bit smaller .

Often what that symbol in the corner was for .

If you hover the cursor over it, it will tell you.

Thank you Miranda F.

It is disappointing that Dyxum has yet to accommodate, encourage or even acknowledge basic, industry standard, HD screen resolutions that produce images that are about the same size as or smaller than the Dyxum approved image size limits. On the off chance that anyone is interested in Dyxum encouraging photographs that map directly to native HD 16:9 display standards and monitor construction, the link to my prior post in Miranda F's post details HD screen resolutions and image size specifics.

I had hopes that in the year since the prior discussion the light bulb would have come on for some in the Dyxum administrative hierarchy and that we would have some "resolution". But, alas, it has not happened.

Merry Christmas to all.

I am currently in process of designing my website for pictures (have been for last 3 months ), I am relying on wordpress plugins to resize and they work pretty well as far as I can tell. Otherwise I normally just use lightroom to downsize my images (to about 4mp) and flickr to downsize it further when posting on here.

I use photorazor to downsize images.A simple free programm that can downsize a whole map of pictures in one pass.
