First of all I would thank you Caedes for a great site, I visit it every day. :) But there are some changes I would like to see. (I haven't found a list of the changes for the new site so I don't know if this was going to be fixed anyway.)
1. The odd resolution 1280x1024: This is NOT a 4:3 ratio, hence usually images get stretched vertically to fit. Change it to 1280x960 which is a 4:3 ratio. I've uploaded images with that resolution but they've only appeared as 1152x864.
2. The scripted image recompression: As I've already written to Caedes, to recompress an already compressed JPG image is madness and lead to quality loss! I've noticed it on some of my images, but it wasn't until I learned that all images were automatically recompressed at 90% quality, that I understood why. Naturally you have to recompress the smaller versions, but can't you make a script that doesn't recompress the original image?
Actually, I had almost implemented a feature that would serve both of these ideas. I was going to add a download link for the original image in addition to the different sizes of the image. So if you uploaded an image at 1280x1024 then the 1280x1024 link would be for the exact binary file that you uploaded. If you uploaded an image at 1280x960 then it would have a link for the original image at 1280x960 in addition to all the sizes that are lower than that.

That's all I can think of for the moment. :)
