I am looking for help and suggestions for a new/alternative software for the forum. It is known that this current software UltraBB v1.172 make images uploaded directly look less sharp or fuzzy compared with image posted as a link from Flickr and some other repositories. I have posted examples in follow up posts. First we need to understand why. Then we need to find out if it is fixable. If Not then we need to consider alternatives. Help required. Any volunteers?

OK, post #3 image is definitely less sharp than post #2 image. Why? What is doing this?

It's simple JK, as I said in another thread, all forum software does this to a greater or less extent. 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. Attachment: Screen Shot 2019-02-03 at 10.38.57.jpg (Downloaded 84 times)

Hmmm, seems better this time. Ho hum... Looking again it's smoother, lost noise detail. Colours aren't as bad as they were in 2012.

Seems like I need to restart my Flickr. I am wondering if it is as good if you upload into the Gallery.
