Image width [maximum image size posting solution]
I realize this is an old thread and I'm not quite sure where to post this, so please forgive me if it's in the wrong place.
Is it possible for The Powers That Be to set the FlyerTalk software to specify a maximum width of the images posted? Every so often someone posts a huge image and it distorts the forum width, making it difficult to read.
I've set up forums using a different software that allowed this. I'd be surprised if it couldn't be done with IBB...

Sometime in Winter 12/13. The fix to be installed is something like this:

The Admin are not comfortable with that pending review.

Issue being is that it loads a JS library that will increase page size just a tad. We can review implementation again and install if the consensus is towards having an auto-resize.

An auto resize would be nice, or if there's the capability, have a "limit" on width somehow.

Proposed functionality is as follows:
- When viewing a thread (desktop) you will see "medium sized" images that "fits into the thread" always
- A small notification appears below image
- Notification indicates that a "bigger version of this image is available"
- You click image to "view full size"
- When viewing a thread (desktop) you will see "medium sized" images that "fits into the thread" always
- A small notification appears below image
- Notification indicates that a "bigger version of this image is available"
- You click image to "view full size"

No, "there" has come to you! 
After a judicious application of the

(Disclaimer: I had a post which was edited by a mod because the pictures were very big. Despite my reply for another poster, I agree big pictures are annoying, but in other hands, if I'd want to post a link, I would have done it by myself.)
And I saw at several threads big pictures. I don't know if my post was reported, but it seems to be an inconsistent behavior from the staff editing some posts with big pictures, but allowing others.
