Attached images you can limit built right into vB - it's in your administrator control panel.

Your firewall on the server is probably blocking that port.

This hack is great but it works sometimes slowly.
Is there a way to make it faster ?

On some Pics i wait over 12/20 sec. an than open the thread.

The short answer is no. Look back through this thread and you'll see the discussions of how and why that is. The main thing that will slow it down is if a server is unavailable that is being called - there is a 5 second timeout if a server can't be reached (and that is for each picture so if you have 5 pictures in a thread linked to a server that doesn't exist any more that will take 25 seconds).

Not trying to plug my own modification, but I had to use this because my forum is a bit larger. To my knowledge, this is the fastest and most accurate image resizer to date, but it uses Javascript instead of editing the img tagging. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...611#post758611

Thanks for this hack, good job Steve :)

Work on vB 3.0.7


Click Install

Images show fine without this hack. All I get are "Image link is broken". I've seen the responses about firewall ports and timeouts, but I don't see how if the images show up without the hack and they don't with the hack, how this could be the problem.

Any ideas?

i couldnt get this to open in a new window :X

nm, got it to work:

The reason a firewall can cause a problem is because the hack does a file open from your file server to the server with the pictures to get the picture size. That's done on a seperate port. When you are normally looking at a page with a linked picture your PC that you are viewing it at is loading the picture from that server - the web server doesn't have anything to do with the picture at all.
