Quick question : the pic must not be more than 1024 wide...ok ...but here on the forum it gets only 800 ,

so the orriginal is two times resized...and looses more sharpness/detail ? Why the resizing to 800 ?

There were technical problems whereas we had small thumbnails, around 100x100, that when clicked on would come up at 1200. That caused problems with smaller screen sizes or browsers that did not autoscale so a compromise had to be met to guarantee the image was viewable on all screen sizes and reduce loading times, thus 800w.

However, if it is an image hosted off site, such as Flickr, and linked here you can get 1024w or greater. We specify 1024 for those due to browser window limitations such as surrounding border space so it doesn't force horizontal scrolling. 50% of screens are 1366w or less at the moment and subtracting the borders of the browser makes 1024 the best choice to allow maximum compatibility.
