This has been buggin' me for a bit now, but say I want to post a giant 4k x 2k image from my gallery in the forum. I notice not too many people actually click on and follow through to the gallery to see the image in all its high megapixel glory, but I'd still like them to see some of the detail. Right now the options go straight from medium 600px to full-blown with nothing around 1000/1200 px range. Now I can resize it myself and re-upload another picture to the gallery but that seems like a waste to me. Is there an undocumented large option? Or am I missing something else? I've tried using html tags but the forum seems to ignore any height or width settings. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you post the large one in the forums, it will automatically be resized to the user's browser width after the page has loaded. We dont encourage posting of massive files though as it screws with people on slow or portable connections.

There is no intermediate beyond 800 width which is close to what you ask at 1000. You can get that by editing the '_sm-' in the image path to '_md-'.

Anything else needs to be created before you upload. Storing larger images would take up too much space and bandwidth for something people would not use that frequently I'm afraid.
