it is a hosted server, and i can not put an own drive into it
disk usage is not the problem, i am using currently only 3,5 gig of 10gigs available
it was a database problem, the database is limited to 100mb, due to caching it run full,
and the image size reduction is a result of server performance, it is simply so that it crashes
from time to time dealing with big images .... if you want higher resolutions, please put a
link to the high res image in the description!

Then maybe just add another smf forum, call it fratcalforumscompetition or something, install it on the same server, move the memberlist here to there, install a gallery, and have a brand new 100 MB available?

New members added here after the member list is moved would need to be added there manually, as there is no way to just link the two, but that shouldn't be too hard - especially if we make new memberships there "by request" or something similar.

It's extra work, but avoids the issues we're having now.

Either that or use a second forum as an archive, and move all posts and stuff over two years old to the other forum, thus clearing space on this one.  I'm not sure how to do that, but it can't require too much research over at the smf help forums!

I think, that 1200x1200 is really enough for competition gallery. If somebody want to show image also in higher resolution I think he can paste link to some external gallery.
I my opinion if image is really interesting and is properly composed it looks also very good in very low resolution. If we have to zoom image to see interesting details it means that is something wrong with image composition. Artist has to show us the most interesting things. It is exactly the same like in photo galleries. Most of the best photographers has galleries with low-res images. They focused on topic, proper composition, good light and beauty.
