Hello.

I want to suggest to increase image resolution to large images though some categories.
Retail Display Flags are 2 meters long and image 480 pixels lenth is very small.
480 pixels lenth is very good for small bricks but for flags and big sets it
is very small I think.
I need to add bigger images manually to every lot, but it takes a lot of time
and pictures ocasionally delete some times. And after lot is sold pictures are
deleted and Bricklink users only see 480 pixels images of flags. I think it will
be great if 800 pixels lenth images will be allowed for some categories.

For example:

I agree, some of the images on the site are so small that you can barely see
any discernable detail in the image. That may have been fine in the early days
of BL when computers weren't very powerful and monitors had lower resolution
capabilities. Todays computers however are a lot more powerful as are computer
monitors. Today's computers and monitors can easily handle high resolution
images without the images taking up too many resources or over straining the
monitor's display.
