Image Resize

Horton

Can I have image resize on my forum?

I had it on my free forum and honestly it did not work very well.

I don't understand what you are asking for. Are you asking for the feature that automatically shrinks images that are too big for the screen down to a screen-fit size?

Also, are you saying that even though it didn't work well on your download version, you still want it on your hosted one?

If it didn't work well, what was wrong with it in particular?

Horton

What I mean to say is that I used the plug-in MaxImageSize with my free forum. I would like something like that for the new forum. Users have a habit of uploading huge files.

with the free forum "MaxImageSize" was not dependable but I like the idea. Often if I came in after the user and opened the post with "Edit" and then resaved it, the image size would correct.

In the end I just need to let users post photos and need them to be a view-able size.

note: Sorry for flooding with issues ... just few more details.

I see what you're saying now. That should be a core feature in Vanilla 2 (I wrote it!). I'm going to test right here to see if it works:

Okay - I see that when I first posted that image, it didn't resize. But when I refreshed the page, it did. Is that the bug you're talking about?

Horton

Yea that is what I was talking about.

see here http://www.ballofspray.com/forum#/discussion/3675 that the image is not within the forum column - or is after refresh.

Ok totally confusing. Like you said ... it re-sizes at refresh.

It would be nice to be able to set the max width of all images at something like 600.

Mark

You absolutely can do that. Just add this to the css for your theme customizations:

.Discussion .Comment .Message img { max-width: 600px; }

I saw the HTML / CSS theme window the other day.... now I can not find it. Can you instruct me or just fix it?

I swear I am almost done getting set up.

Mark

Oops - It wasn't actually turned on in your forum. I've just turned it on for you and placed that change in your custom css. For the record, you can find your custom theme page here:
