image limiting

Post by fusername »

so I have no idea how hard this is to do, but some forums when you instert an image using tags (ie not uploaded to the site) there is a limit pixle size, and if it is bigger than that it gets shrunk down and becomes a clickable link to view the pic full size elsewhere. this avoids breaking hte page for folks w/ a small screen, and saves data and loading times for other people. for the most part people are pretty good about keeping picture size proper, but sometimes these things happen. and its nice when someone has a detail shot, esp of carnage, to be able to click and see it in its 5mp glory.

just an idea, if it is easy to do it would be great, if not, just an idea.
give a man a watch and he'll allways know what time it is. give him two and he can never be sure again.

Things are rarely just crazy enough to work, but they're frequently just crazy enough to fail hilariously.
