Reduce your oversize pictures before posting.
Windows "Paint" will do that even if Inkscape will not.
My issue is that the size restriction was relaxed for jpg, why not relax them too for png? Until a few months ago, you couldn't post a pdf as an attachment if it was over 200 kb, now the limit is 5 mb.

The original of the pic attached to this reply is a 2991 x 996 px PNG image of 521 kb. If I convert it to JPG with minimal quality loss it turns into a 644 kb file. If I choose the default 80% compression ratio, the resulting jpg is 237 kb but the image is now blurry. All 3 files are the same width/height.
