I always resize photos before uploading. Not everyone has high speed internet access. It is simple good manners to scale the images so that they fit the page.

Over half of social media access is now from mobile devices, web access is not far behind. It's not as simple to resize images on mobile devices as it is on a desktop/laptop and even when you can, it's usually a dimensional constraint not a file size constraint that you work to so have no idea if it's actually small enough until you try it.

It would be better 'manners', as you put it, for the website to support all images uploaded and then resize them to account for those that don't have high speed access, asking the users to do it is a bit 1990s (I was doing on-the-fly image resizing on various sites I built years ago)

Any decent image hosting website has basic editing tools built in that allow you to resize or crop an image after upload.

The problem is not the users. The problem is Thumbsnap is a terrible service.

Who knows.

Nothing to stop you using one of the many alternatives though.

At least images uploaded to Thumbsnap are still there 10 years on.

There's nothing more annoying than opening a topic full of broken image links, because the person who posted them has since deleted their account (or it has been automatically deleted due to lack of use).

As for Photofket, well that has to rate as one of THE worst image hosting sites out there.
