I do apologize for eating up some space on your server, @Lee_Ars . I did notice that the compression has gotten heavier over time but today is the first time I noticed this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/cog/original/2X/b/bee1a1ea477c3cf6bfbdf1ff02de41f724ce2a16.png) I’m assuming photos are now being handled differently now since the option to download photos is gone as well. I’m just a bit curious about the change and how much of an impact members can have on your server. ---

Oh man. Sorry to let this sit so long unanswered. Too much going on. Re: Photo management, I’m honestly not sure. I just press “upgrade” on Discourse whenever it says there’s one available, so it sounds like the devs have changed things. I haven’t uploaded an image in a while, so let me try one real quick and see: ![star control 2 mining map](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex001/uploads/cog/original/2X/5/529f64ea2cde4121e09a96508cdb16c5532c4405.jpeg) There may not be a download link, but right-clicking and choosing “open image in new tab” (or the equivalent option in your browser of choice) seems to still work A-OK. From there, you can save the image. (You actually might be able to just right-click on the original inline and save it there, since I _think_ it’s just being scaled by the browser rather than actually being a separate thumbnail.) No need to worry about the server. We got plenty space: ```auto Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on udev 16G 0 16G 0% /dev /dev/md1 227G 53G 163G 25% / tmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdc1 916G 1.3G 869G 1% /backup ``` ---

Interesting. In the photography thread, everything I post is being automatically reduced in size to around 1920 x 1270. This actually suits me fine because I was doing that manually before and it saves me a step (that thread is just for display - if anyone wants to exchange files there are other means of doing that). I notice that your image is 3200 x 4258 - way bigger than mine. I can think of a number of reasons why that might be. - There are user posting size limits and I’m over the limit - There are thread size limits and that thread is _way_ over the limit - There has been a configuration change recently None of this is a problem though. Trying to work out what is happening is purely curiosity on my part. I am very appreciative of you providing the space for us all to moan / rant / celebrate 😀 ---
