We haven't changed the max size - it's still 690px as before for forum photos.
However what changed is that we have prevented our server from attempting to resize much larger photos which a few users were uploading, as the numbers being uploaded was leading to the forum slowing or stopping the website. Resizing photos requires alot of server memory - so it can't really be done if several users are requesting it at once. Much better to do it on your own computer using one of the suggested programs - this will mean you can upload the photos many times faster too. Better still, you could simply use something like Flickr to host your photos and simply hotlink them from your reports (Flickr gives you the code to do this from forums).
