Image resizing

[Ryan]

Well, it was nice while it lasted... Our last try broke image attachments in many browsers, so we had to scrap it. Hang in there while I try to find another solution.

Ok. I am new here and this is my first post ever. On any forum ever. first forum I have ever joined. So don't shot me if this is in the wrong place. I have searched and found several threads about picture resizing going back several years. I don't quite understand it all. I am working my way through Red Leaders 1950s Craftsman garage retro remodel thread and some of the pictures are HUGE (see post #1602). I have a laptop with a fairly small screen and it makes it pretty tough to flow through the posts when a picture pops up that I can only see maybe 1/6 of at a time and have to scroll left, right, up and down just to understand what I am seeing. Problem is independent of what browser I am using. Based on your post I gather that the current solution is busted and I will just have to be patient? Or is your post regarding resizing of images when uploading rather than viewing in a post? If so is there a setting I am missing that will make it easier to view these posts? Thanks for your help.

ROFLWagens.com uses automatic picture resizing and it works.
Is there a way to implement it here or at least use a code to resize pics for the forum rather than resize the pic itself?

Four months now... any progress? I just tested the image embedment and it doesn't work.

Some member post pictures the size of Texas and it makes the thread they're in close to useless. Hope you can find a way to do the automatic image resizing.. Works on most other forums I've seen.

I am a member of several forums with much less members and image resizing is commonplace.

I just joined not too long ago after lurking for years. I am that resizing is not on this forum...

Resizing is nice, but it also too bad some posters are so technologically naive that they can't/won't do it them selves.

Every time somebody post a way-too-big photo, they should be called on it. No photo software works as well as peer-shaming and ridicule

Until you find a solution, can you just block images over a certain size? That puts it back on the poster to size responsibly. As a fairly new member to the forum, the most glaring weakness in the forum is overly large images.

Really? You guys are too lazy or too inept to resize your own pictures?

Irfanview.com, boys. Free, easy to use, works a treat.
