Thank you for exploring the bounds of my shared-server memory limits.

That wasn't really my intention, (why the oops). I was trying to see how massive a a scroll bar I could make (sadly firefox does not scroll images (hmmmm, or maybe it was autoresizing it to fit on available screen). Also, being a programmer and very much into testing I naturally think of pushing bounds.

Don't worry you didn't break anything. Firefox will show scrollbars if you click on the image which will show it at actual size.

Oh yea I'm working on an option to change the background color. I was hoping to use an elegant syntax like http://dummyimage.com/300x250#ccc for a gray background. Too bad you can't capture anything after the hash tag on the server side. Any feedback on a better syntax?

The code checks to see that x is nine or fewer characters, so you can try to request up to 9999999x9 or 9x9999999.

you can trigger it with http://dummyimage.com/9000x9500 as well
