I have been having a slight issue with deviantART lately. Around a week ago, I tried to upload a picture as usual, but this warning came up saying I couldn't upload any picture with less than 400x400 pixels. I thought that was odd, as I've uploaded some with 250 or less. I asked them and they just said that the minimum has always been 400 pixels and that the system has recently been hardcoded.

If it has always been 400 minimum, then how did I upload those ones that were way less? Was it softcoded and glitchy before or something? :p I'd ask them again, but I feel like I'm being a pest. (after only two messages to them) I already have one picture that will be absolutely impossible to upload and now I have to check the size every time before I save. :(

I don't understand why they'd have a minimum anyway. Lesser size means less space taken on their servers, right? Why should they care? It's stifling creativity.
