The 800x800 box limit applies to galleries from the April PUG onwards. I think that we are still at cross purposes a bit because portrait sized images can be submitted up to 800 pixels high - they don't need to be limited to 533 pixels high. The idea behind the way the gallery now works is twofold: * to enable viewers to see all the images in the gallery without having to scroll those that are deeper than the browser window, and * to allow viewers who want to see the images at the largest possible size to do so. I might be being a bit pedantic here but (hopefully) for the sake of clarity.... An image deeper than about 533 pixels (of any aspect ratio) won't be physically resized, it will just have its height attribute reduced to 533 pixels within the associated html file - the rescaling to that height is then done by the viewer's web browser. However, when the viewer clicks on the displayed image, the full-sized image will then be displayed (and will need to be scrolled). As an example, if someone submits an 500 x 750 pixel image, it will be displayed in the gallery at 355 x 533. When the viewer clicks that image, the full 500 x 750 pixel image will appear. The only time that I will physically resize an image is if it exceeds the 800 x 800 limit.
