Default A plea for smaller pictures (for our Gallery, and in general)

I know this has been discussed in the past, but thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention again. Please be careful with the size of the pictures you post. Recently, I've had to skip adding a couple of beautiful quilts to the gallery, because the photos were too big. The Album area, which now is the location of our Gallery, will only accept files up to 1.91M.

In my opinion, however, that size allowance is extremely generous. Much smaller files are usually just as viewable on the site.

Because of where I live, I do not have broadband access; my internet connection is via a 3G modem, with a limited amount of data per month. So, it really chews up my monthly allowance viewing some of the photos on our Board. And, it's not exactly speedy, either!

So, keep the pictures coming ... but put them on a diet!

Thanks
