Just a quick fact about the Z and this forum
ive always wanted to say this and now i finally can
did u ever realize when ppl say that "pictures dont do it justce" they REALLY mean it
i really think that this happens with the Z only
but every piture that i see isnt (no matter how good) doesnt even compare to the car in real life
i am saing this now because i have been looking at every iforged aero picture on the site
i ordered the wheels thinkin "these are really nice"
when i kept seeing more and more picures i was worried about the wheels being too coservative
when i got the wheels and put them on i was like HOLY SH*T these are beautiful
anyway...this is a good thing cause anytime you make a mod based on someone elses car on this forum you wil be pleasantly surprised
carry on

It's because there's a limitation of 640 x 480 picture size. I think I can take the same size picture with my cell phone. I wish the admin who change from pixel limitation to a size limitation. People are linking large size/large pixel pictures anyway. It's not that much change in load to servers.

Havabooz, I know exactly what you mean. When I got my Aeros a few months ago, it was like a night and day difference. People start really looking at your car more. Its like how it was last year when there were so few Z's on the road. I just think it changes the look of the car so much, most people that don't know cars ask me if it's a Porsche now. There's just some things that look so much better in person, and there are a few things that look better in pictures.

It sounds like you guys with the iForged Aeros are very happy with them. Did you consider other wheels before buying? If so, which ones and why did you decide on the Aeros?

this is true of most cars in general. they look more impressive in person. seeing the light reflect off the paint on a brand new car--any car--is always more impressive than any picture of the car.

My point is pixel size limiting (i.e. 640 x 480) is really pointless to have to control bandwidth for hosting, since pixel sizes doesn't always correspond to bandwidth use as pictures can be compressed.
Pixel size limitation is useful if you don't want people to post enormous pictures that can distort the default page size. You already have 200 kbytes limitation which is kind of useless right now since gif/jpegs wouldn't reach that size at 640x480
So my recommendation is
1)Remove pixel size limitation
2)keep current or reduce maximum file size (to 100 kbytes)
This isn't criticism, complaint, or being petty. Just a suggestion to make the best 350Z board, better (atleast in my opinion)

I agree with making it a size limit instead of pixels. If you decide not to change it to a size limt then at least set it so 480x640 (portrait) pics can be posted.
Hey Jim, I rec'd my E-1 today! This thing is built like a tank and so far seems to take great images.

BTW, what camera are you coming from prior to the E-1? Regards, Jim

I'm really pleased with it. I've put a few images up on DPreview. Mostly just playing with it so far, but it handles alot like my E-10, to answer your question about what I'm coming from.
