Slight correction. The downscaling of pictures done by the forum software is not based on Kilobyte size. It is based on the pixel width of the uploaded attachment in relation to your monitor screen resolution. So the threshold changes based on user's computer settings.

If the attachment image width is more than 70% of your screen resolution width, then you'll get shown downscaled images which can result in the 'jumping'effect of the screen when the images are being downscaled.

Images between 700 to 1300 pixels wide should fit in between many common screen resolutions.

The reduction in Kilobyte size will be achieved at the same time when pixel size is reduced first before uploading, and resizing will result in overall better image quality as an image resized to the size it will be displayed at will have more detail than a very large pixel size image that has been compressed and just downscaled by forum software to the same size to be displayed at.

To put this in common perspective, think of pixel width and height as the width and height in inches/centimeters of the frame of a real painting. And Kilobytes as the amount of paint needed to paint an accurate and sharp image to it. You will need more paint to create an as detailed image to a bigger frame painting than to a smaller frame painting. And as we have learned the forum software will in any case break the frame of your big painting and force it to a smaller frame, you might as well use your paint more economically and spread it on a smaller acceptable frame to begin with. If your paint is first spread thin on a big frame and the canvas then crumbled down to a smaller frame, it does not result to more detail.
