 Trying to disable the new image sizes in WordPress but this has no effect!
 I'm still seeing the new large sizes being saved on my server even after
 using this code.

 {{{
 add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' );
 }}}


 This is a very serious issue for me. My site accepts user uploads but I've
 been overwriting the full size images with the thumbnail not just to save
 space on server but also so that I don't have large images stored on my
 server in case of possible copyright abuse.

 This should have been a feature you need to turn on, not something that
 automatically happened after a site is auto upgraded. I absolutely need
 this disabled but the ability to disable this is NOT working.
