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...

Hi there. Agree w/ you. You might want to post in the technical issues forum, as this is something IB could correct (I think).

Cheers.

Already addressed, as of now they can't... :eek:

Thanks Sharon, I'll head over there.


ETA: Sorry oliver2002, I didn't see your comment before I posted. Thanks.

Is that recent? Because there was a # of images posted in the Marriott forum & even the person who posted them asked for help in trying to make them smaller, and that was just last week.

Cheers.

Sometime in Winter 12/13. The fix to be installed is something like this:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125500

The Admin are not comfortable with that pending review.

I agree. It's extremely annoying when someone posts a wider than normal image, usually for nom real reason. IMO is is the biggest reason not to allow images to be poster.

This would be the product to install to address the auto resizing limits.

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"

That's how I've seen it work on other message boards, and I like that.

+1!

No, "there" has come to you! :D

After a judicious application of the http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ons/report.gif ("Alert a moderator to this post") button to ask moderators to consider a move to Technical Support and Feedback Forum, the thread has moved here and merged with the new one with a title extension for member convenience.

Thanks JDiver -- I never get over to this part of "town" (FT) and felt a little lost! Appreciate the assist :)

Sorry for reviving this old thread, but what happened with this proposal? I believe it will be a nice feature to implement.

(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.
