Size of Pictures?

[Lucky13]

Do we still need to limit them to 800x-x, y, z?
Feel free to correct me, but....when I first signed up, I think that the forum "mechanics" did that automatically, or do I remember wrong?

Not that I mind doing it, it kinda of a habit now, when posting on the forum, just curious....

Do you mean the ordinar picture file as JPG for instance?

Indeed, just the standard jpg's my friend....
The old hard drive seem to remember that when posting a too large photo back in the day, the forum itself limited the size to 800x800 or thereabouts....

Ok. Yes the older system limited the image size. But now the larger ones can be uploaded. In the case the system should fit them correctly. However for the stuff we run here the Maximum attachment image dimensions are set on 10000x10000 pixels. Practically we are limited by the Cloudflare transferring settings and not by the image resolution ( the number of pixels ) but by the file size what is less than 90-100MB. Also it doesn't repay to upload larger images because of the time for the uploading. a page loading and the screen scrolling when displaying. Personally I upload large shots of max 1600-1800 pixels in the width and it is enough for most of the shots of the standard resolutions used in the net and the displayers used by the users.

I make my photos 825w x 620h, 620 is the height that fills the post screen. No scrolling for viewers

Many thanks my friend, very much appreciated!
I've limited myself to 800 by whatever came with it for some time now, it's great to know that if the image is slightly larger it won't break the forum!

Cool!
When I use landscape on my phone and set 800, it goes 800x450....without cropping!

FYI:
There is an update coming soon for the forums that has much better image resizing and handling for users:

XF 2.3 - Image optimization, enhanced image resizing, and more!

Image optimization with WebP support Arguably, we could have talked about this in our bumper Boosting performance entry but it wasn't quite ready to be shown at that point. (I started working on it this week and I haven't yet mastered the art of time travel). Initially the scope of our WebP...

This should go live for the site in the next few months.

" Starting with XF 2.3, you can now add custom smilies"
That would be fun.

I just size 'em to the screen using the "edit" function.
