More lenient photo restrictions

Postby Articsledder » Sun May 20, 2012 4:27 pm

At the moment the photo limit is 640 by 640, which is a little annoying IMO. It is practically impossible to use anything found off of Google images. I suggest a slightly large limit, maybe 750x750.

Here is a reference image that is 750 by 750

This shouldn't break the formatting too much, if it does, spoiler tags could be used for larger pictures.

I support this, though 750x750 might be a bit big IMO.

I'm not sure if this forum support it, but would it not be a better idea to not limit image size at all, but any images posted over the current size are scaled down?

Thats a good idea, but as you said, does the forum support it? I suspect that there would not be a limit if it could, though.

Images past 700 pixels in width are not displayed properly. You'll either have to go through the trouble to resize them, or simply link to the image.

640 wide is the standard for many forums

MOst BBcode forums have auto-resize images if it's too large. Like our clan's abandoned forums:

As Mikuli said anything more thatn 700 will just completly ruin the forum because all the pictures will stretch to the background and make it ugly.
Im against making the photos less.
If you are so worried about dimensions just give them a direct link to the photo.

I really wish the forum had some form of resizing plugin for photos that are too large. My game screencaps turn out 800x600, and resizing them myself is a hassle.

^ It should autoresize.

Such a pain otherwise.

Couldn´t they use a code which resizes too big pictures?

Like Articsledder has already said... nearly every picture you can find on google is too big...

While I don't post images often at all, it would be nice to have the ones I do post auto-resize.

I'm okay with the width restriction, but the length restriction could be tweaked overall, if not locally
