here is the deal; every time the page is opened, the images appear >> this takes bandwidth. Since this forum doesn't require a registration to view, bots can also view the forum (and this happens constantly, check the who's online button on the bottom of the screen in the forum overview)

a file however isn't opened every time the thread is opened, only at request.

another thing; quite some users use a 1024X768 screen resolution. if you make the pics the same resolution the screen isn't only vertical, but also horizontal out of view.

If you want to post pictures larger than 640X480, you can post them, but you need to find a place to host them yourself.

Hope this explains why the limitation is set to 640X480.
