Large picture eat up to much space. The owner of the site needs to pay for the space used, the more spaced use the more it cost! That is simple economics!
Use a picture with less pixels.
Most users of this forum don't post pictures of other people, they post pictures of themselves to ask advice as to what their needs are.
So then why not allow people to post links to photo bucket or some 3rd party photo server is space is their issue?
The pictures in question are not even high resolution but on average quality. I have probably spend more space by posting complains about the problem.
The only way for me to evaluate how good a doctor is from the before and after pictures because that could possible be an indication on how your case will turn out.
For example, one doctor I found had a strange horizontal line extending beyond the edge of the areola(were most doctors hide the scar from the incision) and I was trying to find out what was going on.
There are not a whole lot of pictures when people do manage to upload a picture, there should be enough detail so the supporting doctors and members can tell what is going on.
These are the type of actions which use to be used in the 1990 when everyone was on AOL dial up and emails could not have attachments, etc..
In the world of fiber optics, HD movie streaming, MRI file transfer, remote surgeries via robots connected to remote doctors to the internet, this website has reverted to having some crazy small file limit to which even images posted on the site a few months ago are to large.
The owner of the site should have made sure the person he told to would at least attempt to keep on the original vision and not make things worse.
I suspect the actual problem may be more of trying to stop a spammer but not realize the unintended consequences of hurting its members from collaborating on information related to gynecomastia.
In any event, they really need to lighten up and let people upload pictures and at very least link to gynecomastia.org.
P.S.
Are you one of those people who love the nude full body X-ray scanners of the airport as well as the NSA listening in on their phone calls, emails, text messages, internet searches, etc....? These changes are making things worse not better. If they are trying to stop a spammer, just ban the spammer not make everyone else suffer.
