I'm just making a point here, not a whinge but I've noticed some users when taking a screenshot of something upload an image of their entire desktop. On windows 10 for example, there is the snipping tool app that can cut out only the parts of the screenshot that are relevant to the topic at hand being discussed in the forums. I think this will allow quicker uploads & of course downloads to be more efficient.
Does anyone else out there see this problem?
 
I hate scrolling through large pictures as it takes so long.
I try to make a habit of resizing and or cropping pictures so they are a reasonable size and don't fill the screen.

Yep, same here & I'm not on a slow connection either despite Australia being on the other side of the world from where TPU is based. Every single pixel from those screenshots just hast to take its' time & load.... :( It's not just this site but other sites too that allow users to upload screenshots of their entire desktop just to show windows of some apps.

You can also just edit and crop the screenshots right in windows image viewer. Simple and easy.
 
@AlwaysHope Couldn't agree more. Perhaps they don't know about the snipping tool? Perhaps they're just lazy and sloppy? There could be any number of reasons, but it all boils down to them getting their act together.
