Display Settings
Ok maybe i missed a post about this, but i only discovered how to get rid of the annoying horizontal scroll bar when reading some threads.
It seems i have to have my display settings at 1600x1200 to see the whole thread width. On my laptop i have it set to: 1920 x some other large number but on my work pc i have it set to 1024 x 768 beacuse i find it very hard on the eyes. Is it possible to change this so the horizontal scroll bar does not appear for 1024 x 768 resolution. digger760 |

That's probably in threads with huge pictures in them.

hmmm ok so its down to the fact that in lots of cases pics will be 1024 x 768, which has to fit into a the thread which is smaller again.
Sounds like i'm stuck with it then, as squishing the images would be a bad (and unpopular) idea. |

It would be a nice feature for big uploaded pics to automatically have a resized copy of 320x240 (for instance) created, and make the img-code point to the smaller picture, and at the same time link the img to the full-sized pic opening in a new window. Should be feasible, I think.

Or: [imgresize][/imgresize]? Note that I've got that forum tag copyrighted

If you mean some ubb-code that rewrites the <img height=xxx width=yyy>-tags, those resize tags make for pretty ugly results in IE AFAIK. This is because IE uses some bad resizing algorithm; I hope there are some good scripts to be found to do this in asp. And you don't automatically get a nice link to the full-sized image. Downside of my proposal of course is the additional need of required storage space.

Not wanting to start a flame war, but last time i check IE made a lot of ugly things (i think the transparency of my avatar isn't properly showing on IE as well).
But in general manual resizing of images will in almost all cases give better results, than doing it by the img-tags (browser).

I find the biggest problem is when pics are huge making all the text too wide as well. I would be happy if only the post with a wide pic were wider than the current width of the browser, which would allow you to scroll for pics and not scroll for text.
On another note, the upload system could be re-vamped soon anyway to allow a much nicer file sharing sytsem. FWIW Plux, storage space isn't a problem, and it is also possible to implement the system you propose. The downside it the time it would take to implement...

Weird stuff happens when you resize small images like smileys though
