I was lectured about how I should make a post. No, my post was perfectly fine. Concise, detailed, and had good photos. This website doesn't display it correctly. It's not my fault it the websites.
You lost me at "concise." For this particular antique website, a 50Meg post is big.

So instead of lecturing me about what I did wrong, you can say with humility "sorry but you'll have to do some extra steps due to the limitations of this website." Instead of "what the hell are you thinking uploading 4k images?!? Are you nuts?!?"
Admittedly humility is not my strong suit, but I can do that: You'll have to do some extra steps due to the limitations of this website. We do occasionally mention that when someone submits an oversize (at least to our steam-powered web site it's oversize), though prefacing that with "Sorry, but..." would be unusual. I AM sorry that my recommendations came across as "what the hell are you thinking uploading 4k images?!? Are you nuts?!?" [note: the problem was the 3.5Meg images]

Even if you were, we'd welcome you to the fold. Every builder on this site is a former noob.

All I know is I posted a thread and nothing happened for almost a month until i posted this thread and it brought it to the attention of Jack.
Nah, you got my attention when you complained on usa7s about locostusa not being adequately prompt in a response to you. May of us here are users of both these site, and some others as well, and if there's a complaint on another site it's likely to be noted. And as I've mentioned, I'm a junior mod here, but I took it upon myself to write you a post and an email advising how to work with the limitations of our DIY website for DIY cars. I can't say why other mods didn't connect with you earlier, but I doubt their advice would have been much different

If Jack has simply said something about how the website is old then no problem. stead he blamed me for having the audacity to upload 50MB worth of images. Oh God the humanity. 50MB.
I think the OP deduced that the website is old early on. But clearly he has a point (and it's coming right up).

[Before I made my post I visited every section and FAQ and sticky post, not a single one has any information about image posting size or other guidelines. I guess I'm just supposed to guess.
It's odd that this topic hasn't come up before. I'm going to nip the next one in the bud by putting something in the guidelines, which may be a bit above my pay grade, but I'll give it a try -- hopefully without insulting the next guy.
[edit: How humiliating. It appears my JUnior Mod License does not allow me to start a new topic in the FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions forum.]
