Regulating image sizes

[Skiz]

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:

[DarthInsinuate]

a guideline would be nice

but anyone who brings back the image resizing script thingie shall be known as arseface

[tesco]

Oh noes not this again :frusty:

Don't go into the destop thread then. It's like going into a High Quality Video thread that says 2mb+ Broadband Users Only and only having 14.4kb's modem.

Did I just awaken a hated beast or somethin? :unsure:

I just thought it would be a good courtesy rule or something. Like put a mod post in threads like that that states a couple of simple rules for that particular thread.

If not, whatever. :snooty:

[BawA]

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.

[Rick Phlegm]

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:

Of course now it could easily be removed as the person installing will still be here.. :P

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?

Yup that's easy to do. :)

Might want to wait for some more people's opinions on this tho.

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...

I don't understand a word of that.

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/style_emoticons/default/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...

Gotcha :D


Sure, that idea works for me too.

[Guillaume]

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:

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.
If you cant make everyone happy around here than you should probably just hide...

[Virtualbody1234]

The optional selection if having thumbnails on sounds great to me.

[Santa]

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?

[tesco]

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.

:blushing: :blushing:
people were saying to change it at 900px but that's just not nice for peoiple with 800*600 which is why teh original changed it at 500px or something like that.

I like the idea...

[muchspl3]

just read the first post and all I can say is wahhhh

deal with it, maybe try a higher resolution that 800x600 :lol:

Wahhh?? I use 1280x1024 thank you, and posts like this (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showpost.php?p=1103176&postcount=332) are just too damn big. It isn't necessary to post huge pics like this. It's just annoying.

Peace bd :naughty:

[tesco]

Well it's being discussed in team chat now as long as everyone agrees I will be making this tomorrow or the next day...

[Gripper]

Yep like the resizing option to thumbnails,gotta have it as an option in user cp

[tesco]

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...

[Santa]

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

[Santa]

zeds account has the same problem

wtf?
of to sftwr world i go?

[RealitY]

Seems to be working ok now thougha tad slow as metioned perhaps...

[sparsely]

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

[Santa]

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

[sparsely]

I've been on the forum since 7:00 am and posting has been slow all day.

Peace bd :cry:

[sparsely]

example:
http://www.r4nd.org/dork/dork.jpg

umm...is the img tag not working at all? :\

[Santa]

did you just post an image?
i dont see nada

[tesco]

AM I the only one who does see images. :blink:

[brotherdoobie]

I can't see any pics...either (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/brotherdoobie/eyes.jpg)

Peace bdhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/brotherdoobie/eyes.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v173/brotherdoobie/eyes.jpg)

[Guillaume]

Yes you are. Looks like that resize function has backfired, mr admin-man. :lookaroun

[tesco]

OK fine i removed the image resizer, I don't really think it's worth all the trouble and slowdowns it's causing.

edit: Let's try a new idea, use common curtesy and when you post an image use a "[hide ]" tag. :)

http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/icons/icon10.gif

[sparsely]

that hide tag didn't work.

[Virtualbody1234]

that hide tag didn't work.
It works but the page jumps to the top for some reason.

:blink:

[manker]

I think I'll stick to adblocking oversized pics - and then using the forum ignore feature on the geptard that posted it :dry:

[Virtualbody1234]

I seem to have found another problem.

Test. :)

If I use the hide feature and preview my post then the preview and submit buttons become non functional afterwards.

The only way to post is to then copy my text and restart with a new post.

i think i fixed that problem. :unsure:

It was also in the spoiler tag, fixed that too.

shouldn't be taking you to the top tho. :unsure:

[manker]

It takes me to the top and I don't see the images when I scroll back down.

[manker]

Btw, Chromo skin and Firefox 1.0.4.

[tesco]

hmm yes i see it does that in chromo. :huh:

edit: how is it now? :unsure:

[sparsely]

fine.

[manker]

All good for me too. Nice work, Ross :)

[tesco]

yay, i did something right. :01:
