Is it OK now? Rules say deadline exceptions allowed if en in order to comply with formatting etc requirement.

(Not very Computer proficient I used to use a picture hosting site, but since there has been on PF a direct uploading button I usually just click that and as far as I remember it only gave options "thumbnail" and "full-size" which had been okay till now.) I returned now to the hosting site which allowed me to impose 800x600 pixels and in fact it looks less big than before)

Unfortunately, I caught it too late, and the polling thread has already been made by the time I notified you.

It's already in this thread. Having it in the polling thread will only create confusion.
