Yes quite agree about web use of images etc but I didn't explain myself very well, what I meant was for those people who want to upload a picture direct to the forum like that, but who don't have the tech know-how to resize it etc. Those users already thinking about someone nicking the source image are already at the level they can resize the image first if they want to At the moment the forum forces everyone to a maxumum photo size even if they want to upload a bigger one and I think those settings are out of date.
