| Well, after voting in a couple of challenges now where the larger dimensions are in effect I can say I don't like it. I have to scroll to see the title. Blah. |

Haha, funny!
I know F5 is refresh
alt + F4 is to close down a program/window, etc.
F1 is help
F3 is search
But if you just press them you'll soon find out. LOL |

These are from Firefox, but I'm sure most apply to other browsers, and some apply to other programs too:
F1 - Help
F2 - ?
F3 - Find Next (within a page), or if you haven't searched for anything in the page, just plain Find
Shift+F3 - Find Previous
F4 - ?
Alt+F4 - Close Window
Ctrl+F4 - Close Tab
F5 - Refresh
F6 - Move between Address Bar and page, or between frames on a page
F7 - Caret Browsing (places a cursor on the page, MS Word-style, so you can select stuff using Shift+arrows on the keyboard)
F8 - ?
F9 - ?
F10 - ?
F11 - Full Screen
F12 - ? |

I will admit that I haven't read all 5/6 pages of this thread...so please someone head slap me and get me up to date...I just happened to notice on the Open Challenge for Religion/Science that they have upped the size.

Uh, Ja-9. Look under Site News to the left of your DPC home screen. Yeah, I miss those announcements too upon occasion.
This is what it says:
Limitation Increased - Nov 8th
The entry limitations moving forward on all challenges have been increased to a maximum of 800 pixels and 300 kilobytes. You can .read the announcement here.

| I have to just say I'm hating the new size and dimensions... images take longer to load, don't fit on my laptop screen (without me having to use the browsers zoom out option) and the user experience for the great images isn't that much (if at all) better than it was before. :( |

I love the new size dimensions. I have a laptop with a 15" screen, using Google Chrome browser and only a few did I need to scroll in order to fit on the screen. All the landscape formats fit - and only a few of the portrait format needed scrolling. After reading your post, I checked how they are in Internet Explorer, and Firefox - both made me need to scroll for most the images. You may want to check out Google Chrome and see how you like it, if only for DPC. As for how long they take to load - no problem here but my laptop has a pretty good processor in it.

I have the same problems with Google Chrome when I use it, and image load time is more dependant on the internet connection, and even on a decent connection, the download time with the new file size limit is noticeable. |

| I love the new sizes. I am still very happy to see that site finally progressing beyond those tiny images into something where detail can actually be scored. I run on a laptop 99.9% of the time. My screen res is at 1900x1200 and I have no issues ever. |

What's you connection?
I haven't noticed a difference. Load times are as they were on my end. I run my screens at 1680x1050 and use FF in full screen mode without having to scroll to view the image except maybe the title, if I needed to see it because mostly I ignore the titles. I was hesitant about the new image sizes but am glad I voted to enlarge them now. Like Eric says, you can judge images on their detail now instead of just composition, colour, exposure etc. Overall this is a good thing for DPC and what I like even more is the file size gain we got, no more Save For Web crap and loss of all our EXIF data. |

I'm really liking the new size dimensions. I'm not having any problems on my end, but I have a 15" screen, great monitor and processor...as to the internet connection...it is decent...I don't notice a difference.  valdo it might be time to do some updating/upgrading (internet connection). Mind you my computer (laptop) is now 2 years old...in the computer world that is quite ancient. I am usually doing good to milk my laptops for 4/5 years and then they become boat anchors |

Photos look tiny on my new 22" monitor. This is probaly about the average monitor size sold today.
I think we need to move up to 1200x900 :) |

A good idea. Will at least remove the frustration of having to scroll... but wont help with increased download time, and me constantly being told that I should allow the page to load before voting... might just have to resort to thumbnail voting, or not voting anymore... |

Agree. I just got a new 22inch monitor and it is running at 1920x1080 even with size increase pics are looking more like thumbnails.
