1200, 1000 and 1400 are displayed at the same size with Safari, 800 is a bit smaller... (iMac 21,5", OS 10.11.6 Safari 9.1.2 )

[Andrea B.]

The maximum Simple Forums software page display size is a 1000 x 1000 px box.

If you right click the image, select View Image and then click the image, you should be able to see a larger size IF your browser is fully expanded with no sidebars.

I'm not sure what the upper limit on View Image size is. Or how it is determined.

On Firefox, I can see the full 1400 x 1400 px when clicked up in the fully expanded browser.

I don't have that "right click" option on Safari (no view image)... 

[Andrea B.]

Using Safari, right click and select Open Image in New Tab or Open Image in New Window.
That is the equivalent of View Image in Firefox.

Aha... OK Thanks... Still my 2013 iMac has the browser window full open and it limits the size of those views. When I'll retire I'll get the latest 4K screens (or whatever)

Firefox, Nec Multisync 221

1200x1200 scaled down to 1000x1000
means 1200 and 1000 have the same size, 800 is smaller
