Sol 203 Mastcam-Z right eye panorama with enhanced colors
I just found out that in addition to the file size limit for uploading images, there also seems to exist a limit to the total number of pixels in an image. When I try to upload images with a file size of less than 3 MB but with more than or close to 25 million pixels, the attachment management menu disappears. So I had to reduce the size (and hence resolution) of the above image to 92% (linear). Did anybody make a similar observation? |

Obviously nobody should expect anything posted here (or anywhere for that matter) to last forever, but this and every other forum I use is riddled with dead links to defunct photo-hosting sites. I find it hard to believe that with storage prices as low as they are, this site can't afford to store reasonably-sized images. I agree that there should be a size limit, but the current 3 MB limit seems a little low in 2021.

I find it hard to believe that with storage prices as low as they are, this site can't afford to store reasonably-sized images. During my tenure running this place ( long since gone ) money was never the issue. It was finding the kind of sys admin / web dev support necessary to keep the server up to date, keep the forum software patched, keep backups properly. My hope was that when I gave the keys to TPS, that would be looked after. The fact that this place went entirely dark in July for a day or so was because there was basically nobody running the place. The forum should have had it's name changed to include inclusive language half a decade+ ago. It's still not happened. For the same reason. This isn't my forum any more - hasn't been for a very long time - so it's not really my place to criticize how it is or isn't being run - but I wouldn't trust this as a place to host content I cared about in the medium to long term. |

The main technical problem on the way of encouraging everybody to use the third parties' image hosting facilities lays in the impossibility to use the trivial 'width=' parameter of the IMG html tag.
Recently I observed here (cannot find this post now) the attempt to display the color photo of Ingenuity's RTE at a full size of the Sony IMX214 matrix (4208×3120). * the good thing was that our colleague used the IMG tag instead of uploading extra 25-26 megs on your server * the bad thing was that he could not reduce its dispaly size with '[img width=800]' parameter like is recommended on another forums (some of them apply a script patch to perform it automatically on all large images) I see here lots of large images from SUPERCAM, WATSON etc. which are not post-processed by members. They are reposted here only for information/discussion purposes, thus there's no obstacle to link to these images in this way CODE [img width=800]https://mastcamz.asu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/ZR0… (all images linked with such a syntax are usually back-resizable on a mouseclick for viewing) keep the forum software patched I was ready to help you finding such a patch, but the link to http://www.invisionboard.com/ from the 'copyright' section of the forum page («Powered By IP.Board © 2021 IPS, Inc.») seems to be dead. |
