No idea - it may be an error caused by an update. Please ignore and use 200kb limit per pic.
EDIT: Yes, it was an error - please note and stick to the 200KB per pic limit.
Quote from fermi: That's a pity The size had been increased to 300KB a while ago and now is back to 200KB I see! More time needed to re-size properly!
I'm sorry you feel badly about this, fermi - the "increase" to 300 was also a mistake - something that slipped in with an update - but we really must keep the size down to prevent the forum files from being too huge .
Reducing the size of pictures with ACDSee which is what I use is very simple and , of course, there is the resizing tool provided for the Forum which those who use tell me is also good.
I must also say, to those who think only a larger picture is "any use" (!!) that even a photo of 640 pixels wide and under 100KB can look very good on screen - and there is always the capacity to enlarge a photo on screen if desired. Take for example some shots by Steve Garvie - they are often around 760 x 488 and a file size of 76.5KB - and they are quite superb!
