Personally I think that 640x480 should be the default image size. I
usually view Brickshelf when I'm on an 800x600 screen, and you gotta
have room for the other parts of the page. (Which reminds me,
something that's bugged me for years is the fact taht the "Next"
button is more than 800 pixels from the left edge. In fact, there's a
<TABLE WIDTH=840> tag in play which means no matter how small the
image, I have to scroll to the right.
Also, remember one of the problems with Brickshelf is Kevin has to pay
for bandwidth. I don't think it's at all unreasonable to expect him
to take measures to reduce image sizes. It's easy to do - the
ImageMagick toolset for Linux/Unix can easily resize just about any
image.
Perhaps if you click on the image you see whatever size the original
upload was, but in the "previous/next" pages, I think 640x480 should
be the max.
