If a user adds a picture as an attachment and then adds it in a post (assuming its kinda big) it gets reduced with a black border around it and the text like this at the top:

Reduced: 80% of original size [800x479] - Click to view full image

here is an example: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=3303889

(first two pics were small enough but others got reduced)

So the question is can i change this? It is very annoying as my screen (as most poeple these days) is like 1280x1024

and while the pictures load they are big and good and then get made small which is annoying.

Regards,

Zennon

PS - forum is looking good - keep up the good work :)

yeah, I have to admit I'm not a fan of the pic reducing too. sometimes it just ruins the look of a pic. as long as people aren't going nuts with gigantic 10mp pics then I think mods can just respectfully ask people with massive pics to re-size them.

yeah i agree - but there seems to be a limit cos it only resizes once its beyond a certain size (if that makes sense)

so maybe we can just up that limit... just an idea... (might be easier than turning it off)

note i think turn it if off is the way to go :)

ok, on mr snipers advice i checked it out. basically you cant easily adjust the size limit. atm the options are on or off. it looks like this:

Automatic Image Resize Percentage

Please enter the percentage to reduce the image to

Automatically Resize 'Large' Images

If yes, any images posted with the tag will be resized to prevent large images from breaking the layout of your board.

I'm assuming the first one refers to attachments, not images posted using tags. perhaps we need to make it a rule for people not to post images above 1024 X 768 using tags.

generally the 800X600 is enough, but I know personally for some photos etc that I post from time to time bigger is better, but nothing is more annoying that some noob posting a 3000X2000 5mb image...

it's a tough one.

Beer Baron,

What you could do is adjust the std invision area to the size you desire, then have a look at this mod: Invision Mod which resizes pics to a set size....

Hope this helps

I'll try to add an option in the user CP to override the scaling mod. Defaults to "on", but you can choose to turn it off.

I'm not a fan of scaled pics and am forever cursing the forum for shrinking pics.

By default it should work out what res you are running at and then take a few preset pixels off each side and scale to a maximum of that. That way if your window isnt maximised and the pic is out of frame, it should sit neatly inside the window when maximised.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This is actually 2 whole different trains of thought that need to be addressed separately. No, as Matt says above, "Engineer" is not a directly protected title. A lot of guys who just do mechanical design via CAD, with or without even some sort of associate diploma in engineering, often have the job title of "Design Engineer". A train driver can probably still describe themselves as an engineer. But, to usefully get employment with anyone as a proper engineer, you're going to have to have at least the necessary and relevant degree qualification. You're not going to get a job as an electrical engineer if you have a chem eng degree, unless you can demonstrate x number of years of working in that capacity, sufficient knowledge, etc. Having the degree is at least in indication that you've seen the relevant text books, even if you haven't read them (like pretty much the last 10 years of graduates!). To be a self employed engineer.....you could get away with quite a lot pretending that you're suitably qualified, without actually being a proper engineer. But, you will find yourself unable to work for a large section of the client space because a lot demand CVs and capability statements when considering contracting for any engineering work these days. Insurances too. If you're not a proper engineer, it will be much harder to obtain proper PI insurance. Insurance companies have gotten hip to that. The "Professional Engineer" thing is a thing in Australia. If you have the right qualifications and experience you can apply to the relevant engineering top level body (mostly Engineers Australia, the less said about whom, the better), to be assessed and approved as a Chartered Professional Engineer, CPE. There are high bars to get over and a requirement for CPD to maintain it. The RPEQ thing is similar-ish, in that you have to demonstrate and maintain, but the bars are a little lower. It is required to be RPEQ in order to sign off as an engineer on any engineering design in Queensland. The other states haven't fully followed suit yet. There's "engineering" and there's "engineering". Being an engineer that signs off on timber (or even steel) frames for housing projects, council creek crossing bridges, etc, is a flavour of civil engineering that barely warrants the name, description and degree. That would be soul crushing work anyway. Being an automotive engineer working in the space where you have to sign off on modifications to cars and trucks would also be similarly soul crushing. At least partly because of the level of clientelle, their expecations, depths of bank balance, etc. And that brings us to your second question. No, we do not have professional engineers "do vehicle inspections". Well, not the regular roadworthies, etc etc. That's done by mechanics. There might be some vehicle standards engineers at the various state govco inspection stations where cars go to get defects cleared and so on, but that's because they (the cars) are there specifically for defect inspection and clearance and so the stakes are a little higher than on an annual lights and brakes working check. But, if you modify a vehicle in Australia, you have to get it engineered. A suitably qualified (and effectively licensed, which I will get back to) automotive engineer will have to go over the application, advise on what would be required to make the mods legal, supervise some parts of the work, inspect and test the results, and sign off. The "licensed" aspect comes from there being a list of approved engineers to do these things in each state. They have to jump through hoops set up by the govco vehicle standards divisions that mean only the suitably qualified can offer to and approve such mods.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      Meh, it's only got to last another 10 years or so until you'll be forbidden to drive it. Keep it dry and forget about it.

      The title of Engineer is not protected. However different states have different rules about what an Engineer requires to operate. Engineering for a motor vehicle modification is very different to engineering for a bridge, electronics, etc, including what that engineer needs as certifications.   In Canberra, "Engineer" is the loosest category with basically nothing stopping you calling yourself and engineer and designing a bridge or building. From what I've reviewed, QLD has the strictest requirements through RPEIQ.
