Reduced Images In Post

[ZENNON]

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

Hmmm... Thats a good question. I'll look into it.

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.

[ZENNON]

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

Personally im a fan.

When people are posting/linking pics, often they forget to re-size them.

So maybe increase the threshold a bit more? So that way it will only resize much larger pics?

+1

[Beer Baron]

yeah I would support an increase. maybe to 800X600 or even 1024X768.

[ZENNON]

+1 for 1024x768

Prank,

i believe what you are looking for is under the tools and settings, view general settings, topics,posts and polls.

Hope that helps...

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

youve done this before haven't you

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.

good idea monkey. doit. doit.

[Beer Baron]

well someone did something and I like it! nice work whoever you are.
