New Feature: Post Image Max Size

Postby Lance » Wed Jul 13, 2005 7:46 pm

Second try...

I just installed the Post Image Max Size feature as a replacement for the failed Limit Image Width feature. This one seems to be working better.

The Post Image Max Size feature will limit the size of embedded images. Hopefully, this will prevent larger images from blowing out the column width and forcing scroll bars on the page.

There is nothing you need to do to use this new feature. Image resizing is done automatically. Clicking the reduced thumbnail will display the full sized original.

Example:

This 800x600 was automatically resized to 550x413.

Thanks Lance - I don't want to mess about but does it work for long URLs as well?

No, just images. I can check to see if there's something for URLs though. Good idea.

www.tinyurl.com

The downside to this though is if you mouse-over th elink, it won't tell you where the link redirects to.

Testing....

Nope, same problem (sort of). You'll actually get sent to a redirect page, where, if you're quick enough, you can opt not to view the linked site.

Those both work great for users who take the time to use them. I'd like to find something to deal with people just dropping links like this:

http://godlikeproductions.com/bbs/messa ... te=7/14/05

That's interesting. It collapsed to a second line on it's own in IE but not FireFox...

Anyway, I didn't enclose that in [URL] tags. The forum made a link out of it by itself. I expect the code that does it could be modified to put something like "This Link" inside the <a></a> tags instead of just repeating the URL.

why not just use the built in URL method?

Code: Select all
[url=http://www.really_big_URL_name_here.com]Put your description of the link here[/url]

Use it how?

We're talking about a mod to handle long URLs for when people don't post them the right way. Something that will change them on the fly.

yeah figured that, after I posted. Couldn't be bothered changing it though.
