There should be a maximum size limit to pics that are posted. It's annoying as heck to have to scroll over to see a pic. Example: Desktop thread. If you can't make a thumbnail, at least post an 800x600 or something.
This should be FST law. :snooty:

If not, whatever. :snooty:
we had image resizing addon on IPB when 7th was admin, it resized a pic to tumpnails(like image shack) if its more then the limit.
Don't see any reason to ban them.
If they bother you that much then is it possible to automatically encase them in spoiler tags if they're too big?
Was thinking that, but then it might get annoying like the image resier script we had :frusty:Quote:

Would it be possible to have it as a setting in the user profile so that only those who wanted the images restricted would be affected?Quote:

Indeed I have very annoying memories of this era also. Having a user profile set to spoiler tags is a bit silly as those who have it would most likely be prone to look anyway. Although a user profile option to incase larger pictures as thubnails would be ok of course setting default to off...Quote:

I often get annoyed by pics that throw out my margins and end up adblocking them.
Rick's idea of automatically encasing images of dimensions larger than, say 900 pixels wide with spoiler tage is an excellent idea. The option to turn this off in profile is the icing on the cake.
Bawa's tumpoline idea might be good too. He may well mean the same as RealitY for all I know :unsure:
This spoiler tag idea get's my vote http://moderation.invisionzone.com/s...efault/01a.gif
I dont see the point of the spoiler tags though as it hides the image. It would seem more piratical to make them into thumbnails since that cures the issue of distorting the thread. As youve mentioned havi this option the User CP is the icing on the cake so that members can choose what they want...Quote:

Erm. Instead of using all this technical mumbo-jumbo and modify user profile and whatnot, why not use the dictatorial option and make it a rule to have pics no larger than a set size, like Skizo said.
How hard is it to resize a pic before posting it?
Even the people who post in the desktop thread are able to do it. I think. :unsure:
That would be too much work for teh mods, especially lazy ones likeQuote:

It would prolly be better if it was automated. That way geptards in the desktop thread can't annoy me, even if they want to.
I think because we went that path once before and it didnt work out well.Quote:

The optional selection if having thumbnails on sounds great to me.
the last :hate: "image resize" mffunction was set at 500pxl please not so small
at 800pxl - 900pxl much better
awaiting a "need anti-spam function" thread?
Maybe in teh user profile option you choose your resolution and that determines how big before the thumbnail kicks in?
Along with option for no thumbnail of course.
Excellent!Quote:

Yep like the resizing option to thumbnails,gotta have it as an option in user cp
OK I installed it and i bet it's kinda buggy so i made the option's title say BETA.
You can try it by going into your user cp -> clicking Edit Options -> Finding the image resizer option under thread viewing option and set your resolution in the dropdown box.
The image resizer makes pages with a lot of images load slowly atm while enabled, but i'm looking into ways to make it faster...
i can't seem to upload images
(image resize is desabled in my options
can you see this image (500pxl wide)
http://www.rental-car-in-new-zealand.com/nzpic4.jpg
because i cant and its super slow
I can see it. :huh:Quote:

ill try one of my other acount which doesnt have % in it
zeds account has the same problem
this is the first time ive seen this - i cleaned my cache/rebooted have not upgraded /installed anything since i last posted an image here
wtf?
of to sftwr world i go?
Seems to be working ok now thougha tad slow as metioned perhaps...
just edit your userContent.css to give images a max-width & max-height property if iimage sizes bothers you.
Then you get to customize the size to fit your display. :rolleyes:
edit: added condescending smiley
i tried the usual uploading of images on other forums and it works normally
i can't see pictures which i have uploaded my self
after the "resize" change.....
try something - post one of the images i posted earlier (plane/volcanoe) to see if i can see it ....
if i can i dont get this - i can see them on google etc ....:blink: :cry:
and yes when you post it is slower
