it's been like this for a while, i have no clue if it was an update or not as i don't recall seeing the staff talk about it.
It's annoying to say the least as you pretty much just upload and ''bam!'' images are already on full /:

it was more I can't make them big enough haha. they pale SO HARD compared to the actual size of my pics.

When you upload anything past the limit; the "Full View" will remain capped on a standard view; but you can hit "Download" to see the full resolution.
You can tell this works by seeing the image text info box making note of the resolution change.

Its changed but this is a way better change, being capped at max width. Makes it so it doesnt break web pages.

They could just make it work like any normal webpage where it has a small view thatm aybe isn't fucking tiny like FA's small view currently is, then click once to have the image go to full page size as it does now and then click again to have it go to full image size
like DA and other places do.
I know people won't bother clicking the download button and I know it's trivial and none of my business but I want people to have the highest possible size lol.
I feel like it only looks good that way.
