RE: Image tag suggestion
I don't think it should be * at all, its (for example) 200 by 150, not 200 times 150, * is times (multiply) on computers, i always used x to do by (like for sizes)

it should be x not * - You're all just doing it wrong and don't want to correct yourselves :undecided:

This makes sence, go into PSP and see how they display the dimentions.

I'd have no problem with that, just seems a little wierd.. like your doing some math equation. :undecided:

I'm not willing (well, reluctant) to use GD in the board... :dodgy:

I agree that it would be great, but it's not so easy to implement.

Yeah the [img=50%] is a very nice idea indeed :)

Now we just wait for dz to add it to his to-do list :chrongue:

*? come on, "x" is the standard in every computer application since pixels were invented :P

That's just not possible without myBB reading EVERY image inserted in EVERY post, and that's not possible either :P

In html you can set width or height to percentage, but they are percentages of the actual container, for example, 50% of the total page width, not 50% of the actual image width.

Yeah, yeah, great idea, but not feasible server side.

You could just settle for some half-arsed javascript crap if you really wanted it :P

Its not a good idea though :P

Like Guido said, "x" is the standard, they're doing it wrong, so they should learn to start typing it right instead of doing it wrong for the rest of their lives instead of getting around their mistakes by asking Forum admins to add a new bbcode so they can carry on :P
