Fur Affinity is finally going to raise their default upload resolution soon: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10392905

We’re also doubling our default resolution for all standard uploads! Regular users will be able natively post up to QHD resolution (3.7 megapixels, 2k,1440p, 2650x1440) and FA+ users net an additional upload limit to UHD (4k, 2160p, 8.3Mpix, 3840x2160).

However, the phrasing of this announcement concerns me. Does this mean that all users are now going to be restricted to a maximum resolution even if they try to use the old "change submission file" workaround? I know that the maximum file size has been 10 MB even with the workaround, but restricting the resolution is going to be problematic. I know FA needs to sell FA+ subscriptions to keep their servers running, but still...

Actually, yeah, it looks like they're going to restrict resolutions for everyone if this is anything to go by.

-- Coming Soon: Boosts the maximum upload resolution to 4K, displaying your work with the quality it deserves.

So yeah, why a resolution restriction instead of a file size restriction?
