Is it just me or the uploaded image got compressed like hell? Very blurred and pixelated ...
Yes, they do. Our initial configuration of our image proxy was bad.
We use a image proxy to not leak IP addresses and to process images for better performance so you don't have to download 5MB+ images just to view them in a small box.
I don't think this extreme quality drop is worth the 50% reduction in size, specially with such small kb images.
You're totally right! That and more will be fixed when the changes in this PR are deployed which should happen soon. For example, we will also provide the link to the original image.
