@johnny put the site together using his brewing kit, and we're worried about unplugging any of the hoses in case the beer stops flowing.
What does your day look like?

But it only seems to happen to you. I like it. I think it should be kept as a feature to annoy @Haakon

That’s fair.
Sounds like a you problem, no one else is complaining.Or - fix the website so it recognises the metadata like everyone else

The spudification of our photos after Rotorburn gets hold of it is another issue.
We reduce the size from 7MB down to 1.9MB to upload it, then the platform mangles is and makes it look like it was taken by a potato.

Example?
Far as I can see, the platform does nothing to the photos except reject them if too large, and scales them with CSS/HTML to the appropriate size for the viewers screen. No image processing happens at all.
1.9MB is still fucking ridiculous for a website, most of mine are under 300k. You should aim for under 500k, no photo for viewing on a website should be more than that. I won't bother sending you the link to a newsletter I subscribe to that is about reducing our footprint of rubbish posted on the internet but you get the idea, you are using on average six times the storage I am per photo posted on RB.
Take a look at Photo & Picture resizer (Android, dunno about iPhone) as it works really well.

I'm heading out there someday next week, for a cruise with a couple of the foxies, if you're interested?
The photo situation is covered here:
It's got nothing to do with the mb limit, as demonstrated by the photo of the Revel.
Posting photos?
How do I post photos not taken off my phone? To post a pic off my phone I have to use a resize it app to get photos small enough to load. How do I post photos from my camera or laptop. All I get is to big to post! I tried resizing and quality goes to shit.

I'm not a website expert, but at a guess the mb limit is there because the site can't do the compression on larger images.
I suspect that the reason it compresses them further is to limit the volume of data on the server every time people access the site, which presumably is a bandwidth thing that @Scott has to pay for.

No worries..we head up there 2 or 3 days a week. Will DM you on it. Cheers
I didn't take you for an lnp voter. Weird.

Ah yeah that direct comparison shows the site is compressing, my mistake. Ideal would be uploading something that isn't too much bigger than what the site compresses to. The Revel hosted on RB is 127k, heavily compressed.

I thought it was an Irish thing? Actual potatoes.
