Comment:

 Hi. Despite what may have been conveyed, file size has generally not been
 an issue. Files over 10MB in size have always been accepted to the Photo
 Directory. However, extremely large files (over 20MB) were more prone to
 causing a timeout.

 As of [12086], file sizes are enforced to be between 1 to 20MB in size.
 The guidelines page has been updated to note this. No note has been added
 to the submit page itself because it can be found on the guidelines (which
 is already linked to from that page), and because the limit is enforced on
 the client and on the server so large files won't get accepted.

 That said, yes, there have been instances of timeouts which are due to
 other reasons. One common reason were images that exceeded our max
 dimensions. [12091] added enforcement for the min/max dimensions.

 There are a few other possible situations that may cause a timeout that
 are being investigated and hopefully soon mitigated.
