Well, maybe Hitchwiki doesn't care about picture size and has lots and lots of space to store all the file but frankly I think that uploading a picture of 2.64 MB and using only like [[Bivouac_sack|10% of it's size]] is abit too much - and pure waste of space. I suggest resizing all MB-big pictures down to 100-200Kb. Or maybe there is no issue about it? --[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 02:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, maybe Hitchwiki doesn't care about picture size and has lots and lots of space to store all the file but frankly I think that uploading a picture of 2.64 MB and using only like 10% of it's size is abit too much - and pure waste of space. I suggest resizing all MB-big pictures down to 100-200Kb. Or maybe there is no issue about it? --Sigurdas 02:36, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Normally I pay attention to file sizes. This time I didn't and was surprised when I saw the original picture loading, slowly taking up more space than my monitor. I only looked at the thumbs in the article and on the Imgage: site yet.
I now created a 600 x 400 pixel version which will probably be sufficient for most purposes and in case that someone needs a bigger version, they can still get the 2.64 MB version from wikimedia commons.
