Avatars in PM's by absorbation on 10-16-2005 at 06:49 PM

I've noticed in PM's that the avatar container is smaller. This happens in all my messages. Was this because WDZ deleted that code today saying it was useless or because of something else :)

Anyway look at my dodgy paint screenshot happens in all my PM's when i view them now :)

same in post preview and in multiple other places

something tells me WDZ is online fixing the nowrap thing in firefox 1.5 beta 2 :P


edit: now in posts too :P

RE: Avatars in PM's by WDZ on 10-16-2005 at 07:10 PM

Yeah, deleting the nowrap seems to have affected the width of that column, making it significantly narrower than normal in places where it doesn't contain any wide avatars or dates (the date/time cell still has a nowrap set).

I dunno what's up with that... ¬¬

No, a large avatar would stretch the cell even if there was a width="x" applied. :p

Pixels, of course.

In CSS you do, but not in the HTML width attribute. It's always either pixels or percent.

Would it be possible to add code so that when adding an Avatar it will automatically resize it to an appropraite size if it is too big? Especially when using a image from the net. If seen another forum implememnting this, so thought you could too.

something simple like in the image tag width= height= Or just ban certain image sizes giving the user a message in usercp when they try and do so.
RE: Avatars in PM's by MeEtc on 11-01-2005 at 06:09 PM

or something like

code:
if img.width>155
img.width=155

I would prefer to see the avatar resized rather than banning large sizes.

That's done for all uploaded (avatar.php) avatars. As for remote linked avatars, I don't really want to add PHP code to check those, since they're on un-trusted remote servers... :dodgy:

There is a JavaScript-based resizer for all avatars, but it's not 100% effective/reliable. :-/
