Isnt it time for an update?

While I think ISS is a great little site, its showing its age. The image upload limitation of 150kb is very annoying in particular. Any chance of an update?

unfortunately I think that the upload limitation is due to the cost of data storage not being particularly friendly if everyone is uploading 6mb images. I agree, its annoying, but I have a step in a semi-automated workflow that outputs files for IIS and Social media when exporting my final files...

Hey Tim, I see what you are saying, however it has been like that since I joined many years ago, and to be fair it really doesn't bother me, just make your images smaller, we are all in the same boat mate.

I suggested once that if we all paid a small yearly fee we then could ask for some upgrades, so till that happens we just go with it.

I think the admin has lost interest in astronomy. So the moderators moderate but chances of a major revamp are probably quite low.

On the subject of fees, I am a moderator on "The Sky Searchers" Forum. We also have image size limits albeit bigger at 5MB each. This results in server costs of about USD1400 per annum. Each quarter, a donations button appears until we raise the USD350 required for that quarter. It usually takes about 12 -18hrs to raise the money. As soon as the total is reached, the donation button is closed again until next quarter.

These days, Photoshop is much better at crunching down images without loss or artefacts. So while the TSS 5MB limit is nice, I don't have a problem with the much smaller size limit on IIS.
