Hi Daiv,
I would like to make a suggestion. I feel you need to relax the 600 pixel rule for the contests, if not for the whole forum. Nobody runs their monitors at such pitifull resolutions anymore and the truth is 600 pixels, at least horizontally, doesn't even quite fill the width of your table let alone the average screen.
If you won't relax the 600 pixel rule then at least let us link to our pictures on our own servers rather than display them here. You're not hosting these pics anyway so it won't cost you a dime more. They are all basically "Hot linked". And quite frankly I've seen some magnificent pics both in the contests and on the forum that I would love to gaze at full screen. I run my monitor at 1024 X 768, I'll bet you do too. 600 pixels on a side just doesn't do any of these pictures justice.
Just my opinion,
Franj

Franj,
I think I beat you to it on this one. Have you checked out this link?
http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1711
This new feature keeps the images fitting within the page and automatically makes a link out of images that are greater than 600 x 600.
Take note of Frank's comments. There are still a lot of people with slower connections out there -especially in rural areas. I would like to keep the forum reasonably light for those people.
You have always had the ability to link to a picture elsewhere. That is a good idea and I would even recommend putting a note "large file" or something like that to give the people with slower connections a heads up.

PS. Money isn't really a factor. Usability is first and clean design are priority.

Depends what the subject is but even if I don't post a photo I love looking at the others!
