It was an unimportant joke picture that I posted. A picture of a guy with a bright flashlight illuminating a landscape, showing what a cellphone flashlight could not do. Of no significance, just a joke. The pic was maybe 700x700 or 800x800 if I can remember well enough to estimate. It was a link to a freely available picture elsewhere, not an upload to this website. I posted it in ignorance of the rules for this website. I did indeed glance over those rules when I joined recently, but did not pick up on the image size for linked images. I guess I must have assumed that the size had to do more with uploaded images, ones that a website has to actually store on their hosting servers, thus costing website resources.
No harm, no foul. Live and learn. I don't feel chided. I was just afflicted with "newbie ignorance" in this case. Probably not a whole lot of need for posting images on a reading website, except for book covers and eReader device pictures (or jokes every now and then).
