I did say increase the file size limit, I know there's no explicit image 
dimensions limit :-) .

I was suggesting the file size was too low to allow larger images 
without compression artefacts, not that larger images were not allowed.

I've rechecked through the irtc archives and seen that most images don't 
seem have difficulty fitting in the 250k limit, (so the problem isn't 
that great) but still I'd think some images with lots of hard edges 
might have difficulty fitting 1024x768 or 1280x1024 into 250k. I just 
thought now might be a good time to re-raise the issue.

- has anyone found the 250k limit restrictive and does anyone think we 
should soften the limit a bit? (bandwidth allowing of course)
