This is a carryon on from the original Technical Test Thread
I could only link to the top of that thread as any attempt to link to the bottom results in the dreaded white screen.
So this is the thread for discussing technical problems.

I think we went thru testing all different sizes, upload methods pre season - was there not a photo upload thread? and could not find any one solution! IMO until the programmers set an acceptable default for displaying images then we are stuck doing the best we can. Personally I think everyone that has made the effort to post images with all the faffing about should be congratulated
I only use the File Upload if I want to be sure of posting a smaller snap.
In that case, I resize the snap and save it (in IrfanView it's very easy), and then set the Width box in File Upload to the same width as the snap, and blank out the second box.
For example - and this screenshot is dragged 'n dropped, its actual dimensions are 2220x2003 !!!
This is the resized snap via File Upload:
This is exactly the same snap dragged 'n dropped, and it didn't work for me when I last tried it, it came out huge, so this is a learning event!
..............................
The reason my unresized screenshots are so huge is because I have this blasted ultra-HD display, which I wouldn't recommend to anyone who's not merely watching movies or playing games >:( ... or maybe doing proper photography or movie editing.
Generally I do not have the time to resize and File Upload snaps, what a faff it is - if only we could multi-upload as well as multi-drag-n-drop it might be worth the trouble but it would still be trouble.
