resize images before loading?

[RedGTiVR6]

I want to allow users to post large images on our forum, but I'd like to ensure that if they post a number of them it doesn't cause problems. I'd like to figure out a way to have images checked for size, and if they are too big, resized before the page loads.

Is this even possible?

Look at the bottom of your includes/config.php file.

EDIT: So I made that change but when I go to check a thread with a BUNCH of HUGE pictures, it doesn't resize them before the page loads.

It's falling back on the ncode image resizer plug-in...which resizes images based on what a user has set in their UserCP, but only after all images have been fully loaded.

The deal is, some of these large images are a few megs each. We don't want these images fully loaded, but rather we want a thumbnail loaded then you click on it to see the full image.

Any ideas?
