***Questions about download speeds and file sizes**** [View all]

A question arose about file sizes in the Photo Contest. The assumption is that the current rules requiring 1024 width and 675k in size is due to slow download speeds associated with dial up connections. 30 files at 20+ mp could choke a slow connection.

Please respond with your connection speed and if you have had any issues with viewing large files. If you don't know your speed try https://www.speedtest.net/ or another test sight.

If we could dispense with re-sizing entries it would streamline entering but we certainly do not want to exclude anyone with a slow connection.

If you take part in the contests or visit here to enjoy the work of us photogs please help us out with your experience.

I'll close this post after Monday @ 5 PM.
