Reworked the resize large images option. It's slightly less ugly, but it applies only after the page has finished loading. Turn it on in your profile. I also removed scrollbars from oversized images since I guess that looks ugly?

It works well for me. And yes, the scroll bars were pretty ugly ><

Give it a few weeks, once people preview their posts and realize they are posting images that are way too big for the TL layout, they will stop doing so.

You have alot of faith in people... I think it'll take a while longer before people actually change, especially newer posters... regardless its probably a necessary pain

Hi!

I came here looking for a explination or to be posting a question why all of a suden a lot of old threads had rader large imiges that where to big for the layout or was wither cutout or hade scrollbars to be able to view the whole ting.

Is the discussion in this thread about the new image process for the forum the explanation for all this? Beacuse i started to wonder if it was a browser misshap or something.

I noticed it first in the Wallpaper thread:

Thanks!

Why not just rework your image tags to include a link so that any large image that gets cut off can be viewed in its entirety by clicking the image and viewing it in another window? Then you save your layout but also allow people to see the full image easily when people are (inevitably) too lazy to resize anything. As it stands right now, all large images I see in old threads are cut off and can't be viewed unless I get the direct link and view it in a new tab.

I know you guys will have a better idea, but this is what I'm talking about:

Here someone posted a large image and it got cut off but was also, obviously, a link that could be clicked

Clicking a resized image to see it in full size now opens it in a new window, instead of in a new tab (which it did before the change).

This is much less convenient, could you please change that back?
I don't think that this issue is related to my browser, since it worked fine before the changes.

Also, without the side scroll bars you can't see IF an image is actually bigger or just cut off. So you now always have to check for each image, which can get quite annoying.

Just sizing down every image before uploading is not the way to go either because you sometimes need to show images in full size. (so that small text on it is visible or whatever)

Because the parser has no idea if an image will get cut off or not, since it has no idea how big the images are. It can't know if it should generate a link or not, and it still doesn't fix the root problem of people posting huge images in the first place.

I just wanted to say, that before I clicked the little thing in my profile almost every other picture was cut off. Check the funny pics thread with it off to see what i mean.

Also, Images still don't resize when in spoiler.

I agree that this will force people to resize their images if they're way too huge
but... images that happen to be 20% too big are just cut off in a dumb way, its so damn annoying :\

With "Resize large images that distort the layout:" checked in it happens only when they are in spoilers, for example:

Uploaded (and automaticly resized):

So people don't even have to resize, they just need to use Upload Image feature

I think I've reached a good compromise. The server will now examine images to get their width and height and sets image dimensions before loading. This fixes images not being resized before they finish loading and fixes images resizing in spoilers. For images that the server can't access (slow download, shitty image host, etc) the current post-load javascript resizing will apply.
