Annoyance: high-resolution pictures

[Fake Boris]

How hard would it be to restrict images higher than a certain resolution, or even resize them automatically? Or perhaps just make it that images > X resolution are attached instead of automatically displayed.

It can get really annoying at times - not all of us have got a fancy 20'' LCD. A single oversized image can make browsing a thread a pain in the ass.

There used to be a 800 pixel restriction on the width of attachments... Is it not still there?

OTOH hotlinked images have never been restricted... Might require a bit of hacking to do properly...

[Fake Boris]

Oh I think you're right... the problem is with the linked images, not the attached ones.

So for linked images, everyone should resize.
Everyone knows how to do this, right? And will? Yay.

I agree that this is a serious pain in the ass (and I have a fancy 19" LCD ) Unfortunately I think it´s impossible to implement a size checker for linked images unless Locutus does some really hardcore programming...

OTOH it might be a piece of cake, what do I know...

or we could just ban Lord Shiva.

That's not banning, that's sticking him on your ignore list.

You have much to learn, young one

I suggest you read LordShiva's Unofficial n00b FAQ before you post anymore.

that's the same link....

Don´t pay any attention to LS and Dis. They had very troubled childhoods...

we make up for it by having fun in our adulthoods.

Hmm, at least in the past it would refuse to display images over 800 width (just skipping them entirely) ... odd that it doesn't anymore

Maybe the technical director will comment.

I've found out that putting LordShiva on ignore solves 90% of the problem. Thank you, Starfrit!

I have a 20" screen. Although I always keep my favorites bar up so that takes away about 1.5". It does get really annoying when LordShiva posts huge pictures.
