New Image Tag to reduce Imagesize
 

I had this done with Deaths with version 3.0.7 but it applies here as well of course.

This is not really professional but ey, it works for me :)

To post an image you usually use [IMG].

You can create another tag, let's say [IMGO] for oversized images.

Go to your admincp

Admincp => Custom BB Codes => Add New BB Code

Title : Whatever you want
Tag : imgo
Replacement : <a href="{param}" target="_blank"><img border="0" width="400" alt="Thumb resize." src="{param}" /></a>
Example : [imgo]http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7499/gibraltar12804sx.jpg[/imgo] (you need an example otherwise it will displays only the link)
Description : Whatever you want
Use {option} : No
Button Image (Optional) : Well, optional

As I said, it is not the best, professional one, but usefull. The dark side of that one is when using with picture smaller than 400 pixel width :) It'll be resized also ....

Original Post / Version 3.0.7

Uh.... the height remains, so the image will be disorted. 'cause it's client-side, they'll still download the full filesize of the full image, which defeats the purpose of thumbnails in many applications. What's the point?

The point is to avoid the forum being disorted (optic wise) ...

ive been using something similar for years and the images dont distort at all without a height attribute

It's "Dimensions"... Not filesize. Get it right.

where do you put that Jenta?

At "Replacement" ....

Actually, this is a common technique. If you only specify one dimensional attribute, the browser will automatically scale the other to match.

Cool! Thanks for sharing.
