Is there anyway to modify this hack so that if the image is too big the system simply does not allow the IMG tag but instead uses the URL tags?

That way the poster will in time, learn that large images are not acceptable. This works better than simply altering the image 'size' because the size of the image interms of bytes actually remains the same - and this is what we don't want, people on non-broadband connections having to wait ages for threads to load.

I was using a hack on phpbb that display an 'OOPS' image whenever an IMG was posted that was too big - the OOPS image was clickable to the actual image. The processing was done on the upload not on each 'view' so kept server load to a minuium.

Sorry if I've gone off topic a bit!
