Every image on this forums seems to be resized when posted, causing it to become blurred and harder to see. I noticed this first in the Picture Wars thread where I assumed it was just because we were posting pretty big images that were actually slightly larger than the page even on my pretty big monitor, but from browsing other threads it seems to happen to images that would easily fit on one page even without being resized.
Is there a reason for this or is it some kind of bug?
I'm pretty certain that this isn't just me (or at least, just isn't my browser) because zooming in or out with ctrl+mousewheel just seems to increase the effect.
Before I was just sort of tolerating it (you can still right click > view to look at things in the correct resolution) but when changed my avatar, at the same time increasing it from 52x52 to 62x62 and the same thing happened, which annoyed me to no end as it was a tiny increase in size and it still fit easily under my name. After further investigating (by copying and pasting a screenshot over the actual file) the board actually appeared to be INCREASING my avatar in size, despite the fact that I entered the exact pixel width and height into the relevant fields.
I later fixed it by entering its size as 61x61 despite the fact that this is obviously untrue and it seems to be working now, but I am baffled as to why it wants to increase my avatar by one pixel in the first place.
What causes this? What are the cutoff points?
And can it be fixed somehow or is it just something we have to live with?
