Either that or have the posts actually written out instead of the posts being hidden in the activity history just as "so-and-so made a post." I would like to be able to read what they said without having to go on their profile every time.

I have to say I draw in a cartoony style so these jpeg artifacts *really* show up in my images even without them being resized. It would be a lot better if images on the site were stored as png because those often take up less space than jpeg files and it would also keep the quality of the original image.
