yes, like Dom, i wasn't able to upload pics greater than 400x400 before, but now i can do it ok
in theory there's no problem re disk space and bandwidth, but maybe it's worth having an upper limit on filesize? (100K? 500K? 1MB?) -- if only cos the full size pic opens up in the same window, so it would save people having to stare at a blank screen for several minutes as a 100MB pic slowly downloads lol -- but there again it's probably not likely to be much of a problem in practice -- (tho i think it would be better if the full size image opened in its own window, so people don't have to reload the forum page when returning to it -- but maybe it's too late, and people here have already got used to the way it is, like with the URLs lol)
NB for pics larger than 400x400, a reduced size image is created to be displayed on the page with its message -- this has same filename but different file size as the original uploaded pic, which is displayed when the reduced size image is clicked on -- so anyone wanting to copy the image should copy the full-size image, and not the one shown with the message

no -- when you download, copy or save a file it does not contain any history of where it has come from (tho i guess it'd be possible to create a virus which could do that, but the file would change every time it was copied or downloaded, so it woudn't be the same file as the original) -- however your own computer may keep a (usually temporary) record of where a file has been downloaded from; and in the case of files accessed over the web, the computer where the downloaded file came from will keep a record of where it's been downloaded to -- but the downloaded file itself has no connection with the computer containing the original file it was copied from
