So in short, nothing has changed in the way the forum handles images except that it tells your browser to never show the image wider than 1800px - but again, that doesn't make any changes to the original image (you can test that by right clicking on the image, and choose "display image in new tab/window").




Cliff, when I do exactly what you've suggested I try... the results are exactly what I've previously reported. I right click on my image in This post, I select "Open image in new tab"... and in the new tab, it states the image dimensions to be 1920x2567. When I then right click the image and select "Save image as", it downloads a 447 KB image. Keep in mind, this uploaded image was originally 6843 KB with dimensions of 3088x4128... just as I earlier reported.

The forum does indeed appear to be resizing uploaded images. In my example above, my image has been resized from 3088x4128 to 1920x2567.

I don't understand how you're seeing something completely different. I'm doing all this on a Windows 10 PC using the Google Chrome browser.

Wait, two things: First, you are correct, and second I didn't read your post right. 😁

Yes, images larger than 1920px wide are indeed sized down to 1920px wide. So I was wrong about that. This is something I had changed quite some time ago. Not sure exactly when but at least two years ago (since the module I wrote for that carries a file date in 2022).

That also means that nothing has changed in the handling of images in at least the last two years.
