Live Demo:Max Image Size Restrictions Demo at Qapla.com

The purpose of this mod is to make forum pages load faster. Too often users don't care how big (in bytes) the images they link to are. If you have an image resizer all they care about is that it fits on the page but not how long it may take to download. If you have a post with several or even dozens of these images you can quickly create a slow loading page. Search Engines give priority to faster loading pages so it could even be damaging SEO.

This mod will automatically check every image being embedded via [IMG] BBCode. If the file size is over a value you specify the mod will automatically change the [IMG] code to a [URL] link instead. You can choose to include the file size (in kB) next to the link and you can specify the text of link as well- or simply use the URL as the link text. Go to the mod settings after installation to set these options.

Note- Changes are made at the time the post is submitted or edited so it will not change existing posts.

Should be compatible with all VB's since VB 3.6. Tested and confirmed working on VB 3.8.7, 4.0.8, 4.1.10, 4.1.12 and 4.2.1.

What is the External Content?

The "external content" is the external image someone is linking to- since this mod doesn't work without such a link I figured the notice was appropriate.

Don't worry, there isn't any other external content.


ALSO - FYI - Released version 1.2. This isn't a necessary upgrade unless you were getting an error on the earlier version- the error only comes when used in combination with some other unknown (to me) mods though.

Version 1.4 - Simplified code - should fix any remaining issues - suggest everyone upgrade.

Updated to 1.5 - Fixed a bug where the mod wouldn't disable on new threads even on forums listed as disabled.

Added new Yes/No option to enable on post edits or not.

Awesome mod!

Some images are passing the mod in my board, and are still published in the posts. I set a max of 250Kb. Do you know if there are a conflict with other mod or what can be happening ?

[Acido]

I found that the mod Double Post Prevention is giving conflict with your mod of size restriction for images. May be by set up another execution order for the plugin will solve the issue? Hope you can help.

Thank you.

You could try changing the execution order, it shouldn't hurt anything- if it does just change it back.
