Craig,

I have increased the pic hosting size to 1200x1024. The reason is was less (1024x768) before is because when I originally configured that was the average display size. These days most of us have a display with 1200 pixel width or better, so an increase makes sense.

I have configured for unlimited space, but a maximum of 20 uploads per day, per member. I don't want to be cheap, but the cost of additional network and backup capacity adds up (disk space is cheap, but network bandwidth isn't).

As it appears that members do want to show large images, and the large images blow out my templates, I will be installing a light box that automatically scales images down in posts.
