Posting large images sucks.

The forum cuts off large images instead of resizing them. Look at how our forum handles the map of Tyria:

Spoiler

And now look at how a Guru post handles the same image:

Implement pic-resizer, pretty please with a cherry on top?

It really does.

Yes, it is a bug that showed up a little while back (the forum used to resize images to fit, and before that it at least added a scroll bar). It is reported though, and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Hey I recently noticed pictures being cut-off strangely. Just check some of the bigger pictures, they don't extend properly and they don't auto-resize, it's really annoying. Is this on you guys' todo list yet?

The image resizing thing works now again. Yay!




(Except where in spoiler tags for some reasons.)

well, when you put it in spoiler tags you just asks for it, no use clicking it 2X for just one picture.

It seems to work in spoiler tags too actually:

Displaying multiple large images imposes a performance drain, which is avoided when spoilers are used. This makes it easier for individuals to selectively display what they want to see, and avoids crashes for older computers or less powerful devices. Links avoid performance issues completely, but that's off-topic.

Performance issues? Seriously?

On a 486 running IE7, maybe...
