Don't aw.net have an OS4 screenshots gallery?  

No offence taken per se, but you can imagine us being slightly miffed because we are trying to provide as decent a service to the community as we can, and this could be taken as a bit of a permanent way of telling us that we're not good enough...

I prefer this new os4 gallery, cause the amiga.org gallery downsizes/downsamples the pictures to a lower resolution, so you cant see how the real quality is... I would have liked the amiga.org gallery if it showed the proper resolution. That is my opinion, no offense intended.

I dunno if this limit is still the case, but most screenshots there are still 600x450 or something, which does not really show the true quality of the OS.

@ikir,

You picked the wrong day to try to pick a fight with me sir.  You can easily save JPG files at 80% (20% compression) with zero artifacts or other issues.  The fact that you choose not to is your choice.  There's also the fact that you show an extreme lack of courtesy to others (and disrespect of the site) by uploading such a huge, uncompressed file.

Not everyone is anal about simplistic screenshots.

Then you better understand why people make an alternative gallery aswell, for those people who like to see the true quality of the picture.. I cant see how you can say that ikir started a fight either, all he was doing was posting his site. :-(

For the record, having just checked, the limits are 1600 x 1200 and 300kb. The images are NOT resized, though if the people complaining had any concept of what they were talking about, they would know that when we upgraded the module about 6 months ago, there was an accident that resized all images automatically. Nothing I can do about that, or I would have.

You could have just said that, when the question was brought up, instead of being so hostile.. I have never heard about the accident that resized the images in the database...
