It does if we're reducing to screen resolution, because screen size is inherently linked to the pixels displayed at one time. My phone display is 3216x1440, so when I screenshot, that's how big the resulting image is. This site offers no way to reduce that size when doing a mobile upload. What I'm getting at is many of us are on mobile. No way to manipulate upload size. So screenshots will be in full resolution, without using some kind of 3rd party app.

And for those of us on mobile uploading photographs, rather than screenshots, it's even worse. Most smartphone cameras these days are 40-50 megapixels or more, with no interface here to reduce that size. Other forums I've been on have offered a tool to reduce file quality. That doesn't seem to exist on this site, so it'll require a third party app. I've literally never accessed this site from a pc. So the tools/interface might very well be different there.

But I also don't have any slowness on this site. That's where gigabit internet speed is helpful. I've never noticed any lag here.

Many of us can't achieve the endless speed and bandwidth of half the country. Gigabit is a dream in much of the USA, sad to say.

Anyway - how the heck big are your screen shots? (file size, that is)
I did a screenshot from my LG phone of the JSCAN screen I was on - 130K and Google even allows you to crop, rotate and so on right on the phone. So I could make the size of the file smaller and the display smaller as well.
130K is nuttin'

Here's a full-rez screen shot from my phone today - untrimmed, uncropped, as taken - 130k - it isn't going to slow anything down.

Just 500-600kb usually. I understand you on the speed. It's recent here, and only because I'm in town. And once I leave home, 3g is slow (and shutting down), 4g is ok when it works, and 5g is spotty at best.

Painted looks significantly better for the hardtop and *factory* fender flares

Amen brother especially with tires sticking outside the fenders

The first question after buying your Jeep shouldn't be what to name it or what "mods" should you add.

Additionally naming your Jeep is stupid. It's not a boat

Yeah it kind of is when a Rubicon is over 5000 lbs in a midsize truck in stock form. Sall land yacht

Love my tire poke!!!! It ain't that much!

Utility aside I love the contrast the most - especially the fenders. It's just a very Jeep thing to me growing up loving the YJ and TJ.

Really because all TJ's and Yj's had body colored fenders and most had black flares

Isn't that the same as we have now on our JTs? Body color fenders and (for some of us) black flares. The fenders on TJs were body color metal on the part closer to the hood (I guess that's the actual fender?) and black on the outside (flare?), unless you had a Sahara, which got all body color, including the plastic flare.

My point is there is still contrast on painted fender flares on the split rubicon two piece flares

My 3rd unpopular opinion. Speed limiters. I hate it when it goes off. It's not too bad in the JT. But It getting REAL noisy in the Nismo doing a buck 40. I wish she would just keep her mouth shut.

Custom colored bits like door hinges, angry grills, foot rest hinges, grill accent lights, neon accent lights to light up wheel wells or underbelly. Double points for equal amounts of tattoos so you can grab attention when you're not in your "rig".

The fender flares extending from the body were always black. What changed is Jeep widened the hood and tapered the front end in a way that got rid of the flat that came out from the hood.

The JL/JT parts are still flares with the fenders being the metal part so that hasn't changed, they're just wider. The contrast you refer to is a little bit of black under the indicator and behind the fender but the line around the side is indistinguishable from the liner. It just makes body color flares look like shit to me.

Gee thanks for clarifying I think I have been around long enough to know what I know and you are absolutely entitled to like what you like Good on you

Stock Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators are ugly AF. ??‍

Florida Jeeps mostly JL/JK some JT's, You bought a Jeep for the OPEN air lifestyle, roll down the windows, once in a while, take the T tops off once in a while, take the whole top off once in awhile, the people just drive around with it all closed up like a normal car!!!
