content: Yes, please. Although it's trivial to use a service like imgur and post a link containing the thumbnail, many users like to post huge images.Alexander.

content: I usually use Opera to fit the page to my browser width, which also resizes images to the width, but I am actually in favor for such an addon.Please install.

content: If it does get installed, the user should be able to select what size they want to resize down to (maybe even autodetect) as well as turn it off if they want to.Many years back, I remember a user on some forum complaining that the images get resized to 640x480 while he has a 1680x1050 monitor or something like that. (He eventually figured out that turning off Javascript for that site defeats it.)

content: I think the ability to limit the max size of pic attachment is better, maybe max at 1280 horz ? I just hate to see photo attachments that were uploaded in huge raw format directly from camera, those are just plain lazy.Also those stupidly huge photos must fill up this forum's server pretty fast if left uncontrolled.

content: Yes, something like 1200 or 1600 pixels wide maximum would be good.But I agree that forcing everything into VGA resolutions would be excessive.

content: +1And for Windows users that want to resize them before the upload, there's the "Image Resize Powertoy Clone" I'm using this app for some time and I'm very happy with it: select the images in Explorer->right click -> Resize -> Large ->Done

content: I'm not sure that SMF allows for attached images to be limited by pixel size, it's just by file size.

content: Greetings EEVBees:--I use Irfan View freeware. The thumbnail manager is extremely useful. See below link.http://www.irfanview.com/--I find that making images 800 X 600 before posting, makes them easier to see without reducing the size of the webpage, and it for sure is less irritating for viewers, who hate it when they can only see the left side of a ginormous image."I wear suspenders and a belt.

content: Quote from: GeoffS on January 29, 2013, 01:09:01 pmI thought it was obvious the standard install doesn't allow it, that's what the topic is about.Never mind that, let's hope to see it happen

content: I usually use Faststone Imageviewer mostly to resize my pictures to 800x600. It's free for personal use (like Irfan View).You can download it here:http://www.faststone.org/There is als XNview which can probably do the same as well.Just wanted to name a few alternatives to Irfan View.Cheers,Florian

content: One tip for inserting imgur photos: They store multiple sizes of the uploaded image so if you addhto the filename but before the extension (for example imgur.com/p085P.jpg -> imgur.com/p085Ph.jpg) you get limited size image. It seems to be 1024px wide which fits quite nicely here. You can always link the full size on the image for details.
