Discussion Auto Re-sizing of Pics

[just_kick_it]

Has anyone else noticed that the forum has started auto resizing pics even though most arent a problem?? I think its crap and unneccessay on this board, most of the people on here are responsible enough to resize their designs.

It resized my Doggies/France KOTW entry, now it looks like crap, it has to be the size I posted it at to see all the detail so that it looks like

Ganty - that home guernsey would be up there in one of the best designs I've seen on this board. Big call I know, but I love it

Bulldogs could use it as a home.

Is there a way our board could be exempt from this function. It has been in effect less then a day and it is already giving me the shits.

BTW Ive found the topic that suggests it in the Suggestions board on here, and I think if we could get enough people on here to show their unhappy with it they might change it back just for our board.

In another forum, they let you post full size pictures with the tags, and auto-resized ones with the [TIMG] tags.

Brilliant, IMO

See why cant we have that??

 

[Gibbsy]

Exactly, bloody things shitting me. Re-sizing our already re-sized pics?

Should complain to Chief

Absolutely ridiculous.

I would ask some questions about it (complain to get it fixed) but I dont really have any power in terms of getting anything done because Im not a paid member. If someone else that is really unhappy with the current auto re-sizing of already re-sized pics could do it and I will back them up and Im sure there are others on here that will aswell. Hopefully Chief has a soft spot for this board because he used to be the mod didnt he and will try and sort it out??

Also winston, is the forum that has those two options for posting pics (one code that doesnt auto re-size and one that does) the same programing as the BF forum??

i dont really think being a paid member would matter that much

but if you think it would then it has to be Gibbsy, i won mine

 

[Ochre]

Where's our much-loved and much-respected moderator, GG, when you need him?

 

[just_kick_it]

Ahhk Ill try and put something together. Ill link it in here when Im done. If you see this Gibbsy and I havent linked it yet feel free to have a go.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing resizing images according to their width. However, I would find it preferable if the height of images wasn't limited. This way the framing of a page on a forum wouldn't be dramatically altered by an exceptionally wide image but the detail could be retained in a single image (as requested in most competitions) by stacking multiple jumpers on top of each other in one tall narrow single image.

Please get behind me and show your support. Thanks

 

[Gibbsy]

Thanks Ganty. Will definitely throw my support behind this one.

He's gone missing at all the wrong times unfortunately

If you are going to do auto-resizing, at least give us the "click to see the original size" option.

 

[winston1995]

Also winston, is the forum that has those two options for posting pics (one code that doesnt auto re-size and one that does) the same programing as the BF forum??

They both use vBulletin, but I can't find the specific version number for BigFooty.

The other forum, however, is "Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.6.10"

 

[just_kick_it]

Ahhk thanks for that winston

 

[Ochre]

Thanks Ganty. Will definitely throw my support behind this one.

Btw coxy what did you win the Platinum for?

west coast board tipping comp last year

and on track to win it (and bay 13) again

 

[just_kick_it]

Bad idea. Has messed up image threads.
Please revert back to how it was.

Not likely to happen.

Just updating you guys on this. As you can see its not gonna go back to the way it was, and I wouldnt be holding my breath there will be any alternative to post a link to the original size, other then right click and open in new tab/window.

Bad news

 

[Omegaville]

"Not likely to happen" - what kind of weak explanation is that? At least say "Unfortunately we can't do it, due to [insert short version here]".

Unfortunately we can't do it, due to not being ****ed.
