Web Only 50KB and 5MB, really?

????????????????????????????????????
What does cropping images have to do with converting them to a JPG?

It takes effort and time, and I'm kinda done wasting my time on it and putting effort in it. It's starting to piss me off, that's why I want them to change it. It's not my fault that I've got a big computer. If you expect me to buy a new computer for reports, etc. I won't ask it twice, are you insane?



@Camezonda, @Quetzi opinions on this Thread?

When you resign one day, you'll understand. Only members know the frustration, maybe some new Staff members too. But, I don't expect you to feel how it is.

I dont get why you are saying I'm a staff member therefore I dont understand, I was a member for years before I got staff.

Also, I just really, really hate square shapes. I don't want my profile picture to be in that kind of shape. I've always liked the shape like I have now.

Your current profile picture is also a square-like shape.

Also, cropping actually does take time and effort. Maybe you're just not struggling with it, if you're not, don't be like "cRoPpInG TaKeS EfFoRt", since that's not only really disrespectful, you actually don't even know how it feels. Plus, you're a Staff member, you don't have to complain about anything.

Cropping literally does not take effort, I could make a 30 second tutorial on how to crop and save a profile picture as a jpeg. That's not disrespectful thats a fact.
You literally open MS Paint, set the size to 200x200, drag the image in, resize and save as JPEG.

Also me being staff member has nothing to do with this, because I'm explaining the system and what should and should not work for fact because I know photo editing, I think that makes me slightly more qualified to talk about it.

Whenever I want to make a report, cropping the picture really does take time and effort. Eventually, I get tired of it and don't see the point of putting effort in it anymore. At least try to understand this.

I explained to you that your images should not be saying they are too large because they technically should not be doing that. Yet you ignored that and wrote this.

Overall your reply to my feedback is pretty dry, your post can be summed up by just ignoring my points and writing.
"You are staff, you dont understand. NEXT!"

and it actually took me 10-20 minutes before I could take it as my profile picture.

You can use ezgif.com > Resize > Stretch to fit

The limits are in place so that the forums remain performant. While I appreciate that most home connections these days are easily able to cope with an image size increase, we are still in a world where people are on metered connections and/or mobile internet. There is a cost to increase size allowances, both as a host and for users and I'd argue there isn't that much benefit to it.

That's not what I meant. I was talking about my previous profile picture. It wasn't even a gif. (I'm guessing you meant the profile picture I had for like a day, but it's not that one.) I just couldn't get it under 50 KB, it was like impossible. That's why I kept trying, and after 10-20 minutes I finally got it. By the way, I also tried cropping it with specific sites on google. These didn't work at all.

Yeah, but you've been Staff for so long that you literally don't know the frustration anymore. You don't struggle with it anymore, so I can see why you don't care at all. Pretty selfish, but we've already discussed that part.

Your current profile picture is also a square-like shape.

What in the world? It's a rectangle shape. Not a square shape, you can search the difference on google. ^-^

You, being a Staff member actually does. You don't have to struggle with it anymore, so you don't care about the others struggling with it either, 'cause it's not your problem anymore. And for me, it does take effort and time. Maybe not for you, but for me it does. Again, a really selfish thing. Remember that we're here on the server with so many others, especially the ones that liked the Thread.

Well, welcome in my world. Every image above 50 KB does not work on my profile.

Didn't know it actually asked money, sorry about that. But, maybe it's an idea, when whenever a member wants a specific appropriate gif/picture as their profile picture, they could ask a Staff member to change it? I mean, my profile picture was changed by a Staff member. It only took a few seconds. I don't think that's too much to ask.

 

[Shallidor]

You didn't have to say that in such a disrespectful way.

I'm glad at least you stay respectful:

Read the whole thread before commenting, thank you.

I won't ask it twice, are you insane?

so I can see why you don't care at all. Pretty selfish, but we've already discussed that part.

Anyway, about your suggestion:

So you're suggesting something and literally the sentence after you state that it's already possible and done before????

It takes effort and time

Effort and time, huh.
Also, your response really did not answer my question whatsoever...

I know. Was just letting you know that it takes both effort and time. Cropping, cutting, etc. Whatever you wanna call it.

I've been staff for a year and a member for 4 years. I understood the limit pretty well as a member. Also, stop over using the word 'selfish' against, nothing I have said has been selfish at all. Leave your personal vendetta with me at the door because its pretty petty when you use it as a point of argument.

That's why I said square-like.

You do realize that explanation I gave you was a member explanation? that would work for literally anybody on the forums. I explained how to crop and export a suitable image for the 50KB limit and you are coming in here talking about how its a lot of effort for players, when I clearly proved it naught.

Well, welcome in my world. Every image above 50 KB does not work on my profile.

You quoted my post where I was talking about the 5MB limit on the reports site, not the 50KB one. So again, you didnt read my post.
