Glim, thanks for that extra pic, although I feel like I'm playing Minecraft when I zoom in, SMH. But before I jump on that road and reply to everyone, and I promise it will be the last time I say anything about the upload resolution, now I have another question about this coin! Am I the only one who sees the straight edge line that looks like it starts squiggling right as it contacts Lincoln's chin? I really do have more questions on that date as well, I see a lot of details that are pretty dang hard for me to see but maybe the big dogs in the forum can tell us what they see. All my Newbie eyes see are pixels
Ok ok, like I said this will be the last time I criticize the resolution issue as it is obviously a sore subject. This last picture glim posted is the perfect example, he did the best he could to meet the forums requirements and no hate towards you glim but let's be honest that photo is subpar.
Let's just say, for example, it was a DD of some type or the detail that's a DD on the reverse of a 1997ish
LMC, on the pillar next to the statue, there would literally be no way anyone could properly identify it. No one could because it is not physically possible if these are the type of photos we are getting, whether it be due any number of reasons such as inexperience, equipment or just can't figure out how to do it because it takes some decent effort.
I'm gonna do my best to respond as efficiently through this rant as possible but I do believe this matters and I think most of you will agree by the time your done reading my arguments(for lack of a better word, my vocabulary is garbage).

Occasionally the size limit is a problem for seeing tiny markers or details
Brandmeister, This is how I sees this, This is a COIN community the photos are the most important part aside from the knowledge everyone shares. Seeing tiny markers and details are what this community does, I mean it's a requirement, is it not? (Rhetorical/Facetious again my vocab) BTW Hi! I'm Kyle nice to meet you.

It is because storage is expensive. Hosted, redundant, and protected storage even more so. If there were no limit, we would need 10-20 times more storage than we have now. Would you spend $2000 every month for something when you should only have to spend $100*?
jbuck, the answer is a huge YES, especially for this type of community where the devil really is in the details and those are extremely small details that require a fine resolution to be able to produce meaningful answers, as I described in my example at the beginning of this post. I get it, this is a community and has financial requirements like a business after all. We can talk more about this in detail if you would like but really quick, I would imagine that if it was easier to post photos straight from one's equipment that we would add a healthy amount of members and we all know what that means, more members = more revenue. I am brand new and already wondering how much it's gonna cost me to get one of those sweet "supporter" banners next to my username.
Photo QUALITY is key and the easier it is for ALL members, especially the NEWBIES!, to post quality photos in a decent amount of time with as little headache as possible is paramount for this Communities future. Especially with what this forum IS , you guys really are the most welcoming forum I have ever been on, and if we can't figure out how to get the right amount of revenue because new members can't figure out how to properly post their photos and questions and give up and go elsewhere or just give up on collecting altogether, that's rough. Because expensive? We should all be concerned about how to keep up with the times and make it as easy as 1,2,3. Is that possible? I don't know. That's the details we could chat about if anyone is interested. I just can't imagine that's how anyone who has put their blood, sweat, tears, money and time into this community for X amount of years wants to see the CCFs legacy go down. That's a bit altruistic (vocab again) maybe, but that's just how I see it and I could be completely wrong but based on the passion I have seen from this community, I highly doubt anyone wants to see this community stagnate. Last thing, thanks for the apology I also was being kinda dramatic! I really am excited to be here and hope the CCF can see that I am here to expand my and others knowledge and have some fun while I do as such and also help the CCF all that I can, I need a new outlet but I'll get into that later.

thank you for your service
dearborn, the pleasure is all mine! Thank you and I'm glad to know, USUALLY a positive having us "types" around!
Last but definitely not least -male scents- lol I'm leaving this so you see what it autocorrected to, another one of my potential forum gripes
seriously is this the forums autocorrect or mine? I'm fairly positive it's mine because, well because how terrible it is lol if it is the forums autocorrect I volunteer to work the accepted words list, for everyone's sake.
Back on track -makescents- you've been really awesome, to be honest you all have considering how I just came ALL IN to this forum. That's what I thought you were talking about as well, I totally understand how much knowledge is out there and how many YEARS this will take for me to even be on the same playing field as the rest of you guys. You mentioned repetition in your last post and I'd like to share on of my FAVORITE quotes of all time and that I truly do live by and believe, some may not like who sang this but that really doesn't matter because it is spot ON.

Yikes! Well this is just as good an introduction as I was going to give in my KYLE's ALL or NOTHING DANSCO CRH Topic
That one will be really fun if the CCF still wants me around after this fandango of a post.
I said real quick at the beginning of my jbuck reply
