I raised this issue years ago with this image, which I posted from Prestatyn when I first met Jeff in 2012, 26th May
D200, 80-200 f/2.8
The original image.
Another...
To store on our server images which equal images hosted on flicker or other image hosting platforms would overload our server, both for bandwidth and storage capacity.
Hosting on a dedicated image server such as Flicker takes the load off our server. Some time back there was some talk about relocating the forum onto a facebook group, the image degradation there would probably be far worse.
For up to a thousand images Flicker is free and thanks to Jeff's help, relatively easy. Most everybody I know who wants to show good quality images uses a dedicated image server such as Flicker. It could be made a little easier but no doubt in time these things will be improved.
I don't believe different forum software would result in better image display capability.
That isn't to say there aren't other advantages to upgrading out forum software. I really miss slashthrough, and the single image per post is a real pain.
It would also be nice to have a normal set of smilies without having to resort to using the Apple interface to get them, but that isn't what this topic is about.
The same image exactly, posted via the forum software.
