Automatic image resizing put into place

Rob Williams · 12-01-2010, 07:55 PM

Hi all:

I implemented a mod that resizes images people include in their posts using an IMG tag, so that the forums won't look broke when people use them. There's been some reports that this mod doesn't work perfect in all browsers, but in a quick test, I couldn't find a problem. If anyone does find something game-breaking, please feel free to mention it.

Thanks!

Uh, yeah...sorry about that. I thought I was linking to a smaller version. Oops!

It's not your fault, this is something I've been meaning to take care of forever. The problem is that most solutions have been "edit these ten files", which would break as soon as we upgrade the forums. This solution I found couldn't have been more simple, so I went with it. Seems to work well.

hehe...I am at fault for doing that too. I posted pics of some of my computer supplies...and it stayed at the original res...10 megapixels. oops. Tharic-Nar downsized it and reposted it until I uploaded the edited version

Oh wow that reminds me....I need to get pics of my computer up. I completely forgot about that. PROJECT TIME!
