My gallery is setup in such as way that people can upload pictures of any size, but it will be resized for the standard view. However by clicking on the picture you can always get to the original, thus there is actually no size limit when uploading.

However, when people click upload and then "view allowed extensions" they are given the impression that there is a size limit on width/height, in my case of 600 x 600 which is obviosly not the case. However, it has in several cases mislead people to believe they could not upload any larger pictures, causing them to sometimes downsize the picture themselfs and sometimes abandon uploading altogether.

I suggest that whenever "save orginal files" is set to "yes" for a forum, that "view allowed extensions" will either not display max width/height or even better tell the user that there is no limit.
