@savageorange: Probably so people can't break display by having an absurdly tall or long image. A lot of things allow limitations based on dimensions (such as DA) but not area.

Logical, but seems too simplistic a solution to me. Easy for uploaders to understand but penalizes making comics (for example).
A straight up 'you cannot upload images with an aspect ratio greater than 1:X / X:1' limit would be more to the point IMO.

Good job, FA. New update only uses approximately 2/3rds of my screen width, causing wider images to be visibly shrunk despite having plenty of screen space to view it full size.

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

I wonder how that's going to work. Previously/currently there's a restriction of 1280p in either direction, so it's shrunk to make the larger dimension fit; for "QHD"/2650x1440, does that mean the maximum height is increased by only 160 pixels taller, while the maximum width is 1370 pixels wider? So even a 1500x1500 image is still going to get scrunched, which really screws over comics more than normal widescreen images. Or is it total pixel count, so 1440x2650, 1920x1920, etc, fits? Hardly great either way, I know artists that regularly surpass even 3840x2160, but if they can't handle even 1500x1500, that's such a measly difference from the current 1280p limit that I have to ask, what's the point of the "upgrade"? Besides, if the issues us storage space, a 1K PNG can easily be larger than a 4K JPG.

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

(Edit window timed out. Oops!)

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

FA+ Perks

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

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...

So I've been unable to view images on pixiv all day
