then the image size will also reduce.
For example - If we have the original picture of 1 MB, then it may reduce to 40 to 50 KB and that will have a manageable clarity also.

And if the size will be reduced to 40 to 50 KB, then it will not eat much of the bandwidth...

And when the image size reduces, so does the size of fonts in the image.

The solution here is to automatically limit images to a certain size by resizing, server-side, images larger than 600px x 300px (say) and then linking that reduced sized image to the original large image via a hyperlink.

I am definitely against that. Simply use third party drop sites, and put a link. Don't pollute CP with images of all kinds, requiring another moderation.
|
|
|
|
|
If user wants to give any unsuitable content, then they can also do that by third party drop sites. And it will require moderation.
Instead we can make this functionality in CP, so that we would be having the image alongwith the question (not external image links).
|

Providing links is already possible, and already moderated. Plus I have the choice to open or not open a link, and can preview where this goes to. In all cases, surfing CP is safe.
Your request implies:
1. that the CP content could not be safe anymore, eg, I cannot open a CP page anymore without a risk of NSFW pictures displayed ( and that will happen, trust me).
2. that something for which a solution already exists must be rethought, with extra implementation and extra moderation.
No, thanks.

If you really need a "screenshot" to include with your whatever: then why don't you do a screen-capture on your own computer, open it, and crop-it, so only what is relevant appears, then put it on-line in the cloud somewhere (like Picasa, DropBox, or whatever) and post a link to it in your question or comment.
That gives the CP user the option to view the screenshot or not.
If CP allowed the inclusion of pictures, screen-shots, etc., it would be a mad-house rather than a fun-house

In my profile, I set my company name to "Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion", but after I save it, it is truncated to "Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism".

Change your company name to something shorter...  
|
|
|
|
|
It now says "President, Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terror"
|

It's terrible! Where's the revenge and extortion?

The word terror is more comprehensive and includes revenge and extortion.

The best I could get is - SpExec@CounterIntelli,Terrorism,Revenge,Extortion

Minor revisions section is showing 9 revisions. Revision page is reflecting 6 revisions and the article home page is showing 8 revisions. Could you please clarify how the number of revisions is calculated.

In the process of resetting my password, I clicked on the first 'The Code Project' link in the e-mail I received. It brought me to the site, already logged in. I assumed I was logged with the temporary password.
However, when I tried to change my password using the temporary password as 'Current Password', I got the following error message: "Unable to update password. Please ensure you provide the corrent current or temporary password."
I assume the link in the e-mail connected me with my old password.
To be able to change my password I had to sign out
and then manually connect with the temporary password (not using the link in the e-mail). I could then use the temporary password as "Current Password".
Also, note the typo in the error message: "corrent" instead of "correct".
