Change the image size in the mobile view
I proposed a PR to increase the size of all images displayed in the stream on mobile view. This would improve the quality of the displayed images but increase th quantity of data transfered each time the stream loads.

@juansantiago I don't understand, sorry. You mean users can upload CSS to their settings? We're talking here of image resizing, so that doesn't really work.

This is particularly a problem when the image displays text because it is always too blurry to be redable.
With 700px the text is also to small ... so not really better.
As I said, increasing image quality will prevent the user to be obliged to load the full quality image each time.
How is this better? The user is forced to load the bigger version in the stream. With the 300px image the user can decide if he wants to see the big version by clicking on it.

@supertux88 : Sorry to contradict you but mobile view is for mobile devices, period.
Mobile device can have small screen and limited bandwidth but it is not always the case. I can also use mobile device on tablet and I don't see why desktop view would better fit than mobile view for it.

Many phones have equal resolutions to small laptops these days - the line is very blurry between mobile and desktop ;) Forcing these to always only get 300px is not very good either. I'm not a fan of creating a setting for everything, but maybe this would be worth it.

That’s also my opinion.
No. It is not. You pull requested a general increase of image resolution and the proposal text you wrote yourself asks about accepting this. If your opinion changed, change the proposal text. It's not that hard.

Change the image size with user setting Closed Wed 29 Jul 2015 3:07PM
Currently, the images are displayed at thumb_large size (300px max). The proposition is about to add a user setting to make the stream display full_scaled (700px-inf) size in stream

700px-inf seems a bit insane. In addition to the large file width, one would have to scroll forever which could be a bit of a pain on touchscreens. Maybe a cropped 700x700 thumbnail would be better.

Edit: Neutral position since this is a setting..

I agree with Flaburgan, using srcset is the way to go on this. Another issue with loading everything full resolution is way longer load times. A better solution is progressive enhancement.

Not @jasonrobinson do,t sound gud :(
If each user could decide? I think a configuration where the user chooses, css style can fix this discussion
