LARGE images - resize/thumbnail

[ViviTheMage]

Some pictures are huge, and it breaks the whole thread, IE you have to scroll sideways.

Can we get a thumbnail feature for all images?

they said they are planning to put it in, but have not installed it yet

so you can wait or use a greesemonkey script

I think automatic image resizing would be better. Something like 1024x768 max would be great.

There's a script for that...

Does it work with IE? Because Im a loyal, flag waving IE user and would never use any other browser......unless it doesnt support this script. 😉

So where do I get the script for IE?

One of those ones where it resizes it automatically to 1024 and there is a bar at the top that says view the full size version.

Ok, I think 800 x 600 should be the max. Im on my laptop and that seems acceptable. 🙂

Take a look at this thread for an example of how bad the forum looks thanks to embedded photos.

It's the pet photo thread. While I like the photos, they should be limited to 800x600 so it doesn't ruin the thread width.

640*480 should be maximum before thumbnailing. Most users are going to have a 1024*768 screen.

yeah, this issue and rss feeds really need to fixed before Anandtech forums feel like home for me again

 

[JM Aggie08]

let's make this happen.

Another option is fixing the skin so if one thread gets forced wider it does not affect each one. Ex: each thread should be it's own table and don't put it inside another table.

Take a look at this to see what I mean:

I think a stylesheet setting of:

img { max-width:800px; }

would do the trick. That's more or less what the Greasemonkey script does, except it lets you expand the images by clicking on them.

Edit: RedSquirrel, I don't think that's practical, as all posts are wrapped in a DIV with ID="posts".

yeah the template html would have to be redone.

Though I forgot about the max-width attribute in css. That would be the easiest way.
