Pictures are out of control!

Is there any easy way to automatically take pictures out of quotes? I have seen it a lot when people quote someone with pics it wastes a lot of space especially in the "Post your Workstation" thread.

Also, is it possible to automatically resize pictures that are hosted off site? A lot of people have no idea what they are doing to the thread when they post a 1024 x 768 picture. I am running at a 1680 x 1050 resolution but my IE windows aren't always maximized and when they aren't I have to scroll left and right a lot to see what people have typed in the thread.

Just two observations I have made. I don't know if they are possible, but I figured I would ask.

Do you wish to view images in posts, such as smilies and posted images?

That wouldn't help at all. What the suggestion was is to not have images be quoted.

I've seen in a few cases where when quoted and pics are within the quotes, the images turn into links. Not sure why this doesn't happen all the time.

I like the resizing idea, mainly because i'm using a 15" screen and it sucks having to scroll. Also there should be a guide to compression. People need to learn which type to use e.g. gif, jpg etc. This could save say a 250kb jpg to a 100kb gif.

I'm still on 56k. I can't get BB. Yes I know. Its sucks to be me.

The images people host on neowin will turn into a link when quotes but not the images hosted on a outside source like imageshack. I don't know if it is able to turn them to links when you quote because of the IPB code.

How to resize foreign hosted images:  Post.

A lot of people on the boards don't think about this, or don't know how to do this. I have never done this myself, but normally I just put a link to where my pictures are located so they can click on the link and it doesn't break the tables.

Look at that BS. He quoted all that to say one thing. Some ass did the same thing on the prvious page.

Whenever I read that thread, some absolute noob will quote some guy's post. Make them urls or something. I can't stand seeing the same post 30 times in its entirety.

How about an automatic resize irregardless of whether the pic is uploaded or stored in an external server?

I don't want to have to click on a link just to see a pic all the time. I'd prefer decently sized thumbnails to give me a rough idea of what it is and helping me decide if clicking on the link is worth it.

      Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
