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.

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.

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.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
