I'm not very computer savvy, so I'll try to ask this in a way that's understandable.
There's a limit to how big you can make your pictures (i.e., 400kb on beginner board, 750kb on intermediate, etc.). What exactly is it that fills up the 'kb meter' (for lack of better word), and is there a way I can minimize my chances of going over the limits? Finally, is there any kind of penalty for repeatedly going over the limit (other than constantly bothering mods for more space?)

don't worry about it.

Very Bush-like answer there Marcello.

I got her covered Klox

klox: and I didn't even need a speech writer, aren't you impressed?

Like Marcello says don't worryabout it my friend......:D
I some how I do get to pass the limit of space but I always go in to ask for more space, if there were a penalty for goind over the limit repettely then I must have been punished since a whole long time by Maiko and Sweetcell........D:>
Don't worry my friends still love yah........>:D~peace

Something I noticed... intermediate's file size cap is higher than collabs file size cap...

?que¿

cuz collab you need more layers and layers add kb, especially in lascuax
