| Can someone please explain to me the advantage that paid subscribers have when it comes to the quality of images uploaded. I know the image must still be 640 by 640, but the subscription page says something about paid members uploading pictures with more pixels. I'm not sure I understand that. (I'm still fairly new to digital photography and I'm learning loads of stuff from DA)

The max size the vote screen will display is 640x640 pixels.
.
Everyone may upload images up to 1024x1024 pixels. The vote screen will downsize larger images to fit the 640x640 vote screen display.
.
Subscribers may upload images up to 2048x2048 pixels. The vote screen will also downsize these images to fit the vote screen (640x640 max)
.
When a larger image is uploaded the voter has the option to view the larger version (1024^2 or 2048^2) when voting. This additional size view may offer an advantage if the image contains great detail and presents at a high quality on the screen. It can also pull the image down if the larger view does not come across as a higher quality image. Larger images also are processed through the site's image resizer where changes in display quality could arise.
.
Personally, I like to compare apples to apples, so while I may view the larger image post, I do not take them into account when voting. I feel the contest should remain on as equal a ground as possible, therefore I determine my vote before viewing the upsized images ( the one exception being panoramic shots).
.
At any rate, I would suggest trying to avoid uploading images that will display larger than the average computer monitor (again the exception being pano). I have found that most voters favor being able to view the entire image on their screen without having to scroll to view only portions of the image at any one time.

Sunnyside Sandy (2/12/2008)

So, I was basically trying to find out if I was normal....or not.  snippety snip
Yes, Sunnyside you ARE special, maybe different, but SPECIAL. That white jacket they gave you to wear is because you are SPECIAL. And those three men in the white coats who came for you today, did it because you are SPECIAL

Who told you about my white jacket? 
If you want the rainbow - you gotta put up with the rain.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel sooooo good!

How did I know about your white jacket? Did I forget to mention that I have a degree in both psychology and criminology? You decide which one I used to figure out the white jacket part
