Image Auto-Resize by Nagamasa on 08-19-2007 at 12:14 PM

You know how sometimes certain people (ehem) have oversized pictures that ruin the layout of the post?

Well I am kindly suggesting that an admin could kindly code up an auto-resize tool, like the one already at Messenger Discovery forums, so that a) you'll need to do less work, b) saves you bandwidth and time, c) it makes it automatic so that we would not need to plug in so many numbers like img=380x780, and d) it's actually useful.


EDIT:

e) It also makes dimensions standardized, so there wont be any mess-ups for smaller screens.

Well let's worry about the more common thing first.

^o) at most it will be a couple posts a month, normally in the same thread, e.g. monthly desktops

so stop moaning, stop been so lazy, and just type the few extra letters (well numbers) to resize the pic yourself. it takes what, a second longer

and make the images tiny for people with large screens pft

the only decent way to do this would be with some sort of javascript which resizes the images dynamically based on the width of the browser

You could easily wrap the text with wordwrap();, images would be much more difficult :P.

If you use scripting to resize pictures, doesn't it still have to load the WHOLE picture anyway and then take time to shrink it down? How does that save bandwidth OR time?

[img=300x200]pic.png[/img]

Not hard is it?

Because that is already using the javascript resize that he wants, but it needs to be BBCode to prevent malicious-ness :p So why add it again?

You know, imageshack has a resize feature already. Just use that, and quit trying to get the forums to have absolutely everything.

IPB decides to resize an image depending on the user's resolution. Example, when I'm viewing a post that contains images on a IPB forum using my mobile phone (resolution: 240x320), a 320x240 picture gets resized (and of course, I can click it to view the full size image), but when I'm viewing the same post using my computer, the image doesn't get resized.
