Multiple Upload

I've been noticing that some members have been uploading the same image several times, but with different sizes. This isn't needed, just upload the largest size (1600x1200, also keeping quality in mind) possible, and if it passes the limit downsize from there. The reason for wanting the largest size is because it will fit the most screens. How this is, is that the screen properties will fit the image, lets say its size is 1600x1200, it will resize the image to a 1024x768 screen, a 800x600, or whatever your screen resolution you may have. If it does not do this, right-click on your screen, click 'properties', for Windows XP users go to desktop, for Windows 9x users(I'm not sure how it is for Windows 2000) when you click 'properties it shows the screen you want. When your there, there is a drop-down box that says 'Postition', and that has 3 options in it: center, tile, and stretch. The one you want is stretch, it will stretch the image to fix your screen. So, please do not upload multiple sizes of the same image. Once on the site, if caedes sees fit, he will add more sizes. Thanks,

Very well put WN. I'm also going to add to the upload script so that you can upload the different sizes if you need to. Right now the automatic resizing script only works for images like photos that don't have any resolution dependent parts.
