About the whole resolution thing--let me go through a quick rundown.
In WIP/COMPLETE Topics, you must follow the size guidelines--never dipping below 800x600, and if you go over 1000x750, you must use shot tags.
In GALLERY Topics, its pretty much the same--if you go over 1000x750 you must use shot tags, but if they are OLD renders made before the rules were set up in the Studio, then it is acceptable to have OLD RENDERS at 640x800, because lots of people use that, and not many people go lower which would be insane.
So, you dont have to shot tag smaller images than width threshold in GALLERY topics. Let me reiterate that--if it is NOT a RENDER, and its dimensions are SMALLER than the shot tag width, than shot tags are not required. 640x800s are allowed, but under these two conditions: 1. they're old renders 2. ONLY IN GALLERY TOPICS
lets give an example of images that should and shouldnt be [shotted]

DOES NOT NEED SHOT TAGS (Why? its too tiny, but since its the only resolution available as well as being old, it shouldnt be shotted)

DOES NOT NEED SHOT TAGS (Why? its not stretching out the page. If we shot tagged this, it would upscale it and make more effort scrolling down, as well as looking ugly.)

NEEDS SHOT TAGS (even if its only 24 px)

NEEDS SHOT TAGS (because its just huge in both dimensions)
Thanks for your time. Now stop freaking out thinking that snaf will come down and rape you if you don't use shot tags ;)
