In my memory used to be 1024pix wide was max we could post here, when did it change to 800pix wide?
Seems backwards in this day and age of faster internet/etc.....

I'll jump on this bandwagon.
If I remember correctly it was late 2012 or early 2013 and was a huge disappointment. There was a brief backlash but then everyone moved on.
I agree that 800 wide max is ridiculous. People work hard to capture the best image possible and are proud of their work. Viewing photographs this way doesn't do them the justice they deserve.
I hope these thoughts gain momentum and someone at MacRumors is paying attention. After all, other than this one problem, it is a great community and one that I'm very reluctant to leave.

^This sums it up perfectly, MR please take note
I agree it looked way better scrolling through 1024px wide images, this was one of the appealing things about POTD.
I've just updated the Safari auto thumbnail extension to fix this (please note it's an experimental build, and is hard for me to properly test on a slow connection)
Extension:

If anybody wants to do the Firefox and Chrome extensions let me know, I do not have the time unfortunately.
Here is a link to the thread about the extension.
I'd like to request going back to 1024pix wide for images, dicussion in this thread....or has "MacRumors" given into iPhone only viewing? (this is not "iPhoneRumors" after all)
800px wide is the norm here at MacRumors because anything wider messes up with the formatting of the thread
Yes, it impacts the formatting, to a degree that interferes with normal usage. I'd also say that its occur more then "slightly".How so? Do you mean that one post appears slightly wider than the others?

Why care? Post a link to a full resolution image.
I suspect they cut it down based on data they have of what users do. Many people when they see a page is loading slow will cancel it. They loose the page views
800px wide is the norm here at MacRumors because anything wider messes up with the formatting of the thread, it has nothing to do with being iPhone centric or using mobile platforms.
So is this a closed subject or will we see possible going back to 1024 pix wide?
There seems to be a little bit of confusion about this.
Generally we allow images up to 800 pixels wide but in picture threads you can post images up to 1024 pixels wide.
These are threads in the Picture Gallery forum or Digital Photography forum and threads of the "Post your desktop" or "Post a photo of ______" variety.
Images in all other forums and non-picture threads should be kept to a maximum of 800 pixels wide. You can use TIMG tags for larger images and the forum software will automatically reduce the image size. Users can click the image to display the full-sized version.
Image Size Limits:
Image must fit in a 1280 pixels by 1280 pixels box.
If you want to share a larger photo, please link to it.
^^^ then your forum software is not allowing it or a setting is toggled wrong by mistake.
Ok, now I understand. We haven't changed any policies so it's probably down to an incorrect setting.
I'll pass this on to the site admins.

so, pretty sure this wasn't changed recently.
So, ya the reason it's 800 max-width in css is it breaks the formatting otherwise. See below.
1024 vs 800
max-width: 1024px
