Very slow first time loading of this file Chris.
Also same with Eric's.
New potential members will not be impressed.
Is the server side software resizing very large files?
Is there a max upload file size?
And/Or is there any limit on the longest side pixel size for image?
All these factors influence the user browsing experience.
There should be no need to load a 50MB JPG file as there is no monitor that can display it effectively, i.e. 8K (7680 x 4320 pixels).
In fairness Jonathan, my file was 80mb (uncompressed) and just a quality test.
I would normally resize files to <10mb before jpegging. That seems to work fine in terms of quality and speed. But the additional auto compressing that was operational since Christmas was really messing with files of even that size.
The cynic in me would say that I am not sure there are potential new members being put off by the slowness of the website. If they exist, they are more likely disinclined to stay being disinterested in what we are doing and saying.
