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.

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

heh personally I dont think this is needed....

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 .

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 So why add it again?
