''Okay now changed to 450 x 450

And the size limit has always been 512kb for the Writers gallery as well as the others and it still is:)"

StaceyG: My bad. My apologies. You are 'technically' accurate. The size limit has been and is 512 kb for the writers gallery. I suppose I did not word my thoughts accurately (as many at this most wonderful site who put up with my attempts at writings have, often, told me).

In the past two years, I have uploaded over 200 works. Mostly written types.

I just reviewed my file folder of all those works for referencing.

Here is what I found:

My written work/piece called LABELS was 25kb in file size in Microsoft Works Word is
one, if not, the largest file size written work I have posted.

The maximum TNG upload allowed by rule here is 15kb in file size.

I reviewed most of my larger UPLOAD pics for the writers gallery and found that ones where I used my Kodak 4MP camera are, by far, my largest file size(s).

In this case, I found my A FACE IN THE CROWD 'upload' picture to be the largest uploaded pic for the writers gallery I have used. It came in at 46.6 kb in file size.

So, doing the math ....

25kb (actual written piece) + 15.0kb (Maximum file size allowed for TNG pic here) + 46.6 kb file size for the 'uploaded' picture for the above written piece.

Rounded off, that totals approximately just under 90 kb of file size used of the 512 kb allowed in the writers area gallery.

512kb maximum allowed -90 kb total file size of entire written upload = 422 kb of remaining file size left over/open.

For further reference: My LABELS written piece was on of my longest. It came in at '5' pages in length in my Microsoft Works Word program on my p.c.

That equates to about 5 kb per each written page, if my math is close. (422kb divided by 5 kb per page = approximately 84 pages of writing still possible to be used.

Trying to now recall some of the 'longest' written pieces I have seen at this site, and doing the basic premise of 5 kb per page written, one would have to write page after page after page after page .... well, you get the idea (As shown directly above).

Not even wordy, grumpy, flap his jaws far too much, TallPockets. WINK.

So, in real practice,  the writers were drastically limited by the TNG and uploaded 300x100 pixels sizes allowed. For, in actuality, no one would most probably ever post an 89 page written work here. Only so many kb could physically be placed in each above size restrictions given.

Or, as Billy Clinton once said, "It matters how one defines what the word IS, is". SMILE.

I thank you for the increase to 450 pixels in the writers gallery. Someday, utopia would be a writers gallery where the written work and the subsequent TNG and uploaded pics that accompany it would be allowed to be configured to an actual practice maximum of 512 kb in file size per each individual written work, in it's entirety. However, each artist would decide to best put his/her works together.

My best to you and yours, kind soul.

PEACE.

Most respectfully, TallPockets.
