How big can my image be?
As far as pixel size goes there is no real limit, but you will rarely need to make your image larger than 400 pixels wide. To be put on the frontpage, your image needs to be no wider than 280 pixels.
For file size, a still image will rarely need to be over 50KB and an animation should preferably be under 200KB, but anything up to 250 KB is acceptable. Please do your best to keep filesizes as small as you can, because not everybody has access to broadband. A good joke won't be spoiled by a slightly lower quality image.
If you really can't bear to make your image or animation smaller, a good idea would be to make a smaller version for posting on the board and you can link to the full glory of the huge version for those with a fast connection. You can use this code to do that:

Why is it pissing with rain? It's not fair. Now I have to spend all day slagging people off on the internet.
