It’s awesome that we can drag & drop images. @codinghorror, Any thoughts on these ideas?

1. If you make your images big, that’s great because you can click and expand. However, what if you want to have a post with 15 2048x2048 images. That could be a bit slow to load.

2. If you want to upload from an iPhone 5, it requires too much extra work to resize the image on the phone.

3. Ideally, when uploading images, an optimized smaller size would be created for the topic/post view, and clicking an image would bring up a slide show view of the appropriate size.

It seems like we might be able to use [cloudinary.com](http://cloudinary.com), or maybe integrate image magic:

Has anybody looked into integrating either of these?
