Possibly restricting photo sizes?

[Rev. Rye]

I see imgfit as a good solution for images that are wider than your device's image resolution (1366 pixels, in my case). Not for small ones that are likely to cause pixelation, then you just use "img".

Small according to what?  My screen size, your iphone screen, my tablet screen, whose screen is your advice tailored to?

My screen resolution is 1900x1080 -- I don't see images that are wider than my device's image resolution very often.  I don't think you're thinking about anyone's situation but your own.  You aren't the only one using the forum, you know.  If imgfit shrunk images but didn't enlarge them, then you'd have a point.  But it doesn't.

I'm just going by my own experience. Images smaller than that browser resolution (or, indeed, ones that the browser doesn't resize to fit the screen and ask you to click again to see it at full size) just don't need it. There's just no point. I just work under the two-sizes fits all approach, where large images use imgfit, and smaller images use img. If you're looking for a one-size approach, I simply don't see the point, unless you want needlessly-stretched-out images or images that are big enough they fuck with the rest of the thread.

How big do you think the limit should be, and why?

Software should have an "automatic resize" option that allows the reader to view the original.

This might be problematic as the forum software allows the poster to specify resizing of the image when they post it.  Some of the images I've resized are several thousand pixels wide/high.

As a general rule, I'm against having the forum resize images to a standard size.  It removes the editorial control I have.  I post large pics for some things, small pics for others.  There's usually a reason behind it.

Not to mention that some members have visual impairments and need those larger size options. It wouldn't be fair to them to restrict the sizes.

Sizes are restricted, the original is still available on the forum. The 3200x2400 image of the route of the Nagumo Kido Butai I made this morning would fit into the post window of the person looking at that picture if I used imgfit. BUT they could view the original size if they prefered. I checked the image I mentioned above on another forum without using the imgfit tags and you can see Siberia. Most of Siberia. Mostly.

I resize my images manually if necessary. Select view source, after img type =400x300 (example)

400 is width, 300 is height.

How did you choose that size?

[Joods]

In the box that pops up when you click on the pic icon to post a pic. It gives you the option to manually enter in height and width.

Well, it worked.

And for those of us at home, here's what I got when I decided to reduce it to a width of 400 pixels:

Code:

The height of 218 pixels was automatically chosen by math to keep up the proportions.

Just click the "insert an image" post and reduce it to whatever width you want. If you don't want to just use the "imgfit" for larger images and "img" for smaller ones, that's it.

Just wanted to the echo above.. img fit, and if needed, specifics on dimensions, are incorporated into the BB here.

Also rev, lovely picture.

It's been my favourite painting since I saw it at the Art Institute in I think 2001.

Length and circumference of my penis.

Edit: That's flaccid penis.
