Is there an option to disable the auto-resizing of images such as in the Monthly Desktops threads? If you're running a high resolution, it makes no sense to have images that would normally fit fine on your screen (at full resolution) scaled down to whatever it's being scaled down to. For example, if I'm running 1600x1200 and someone posts an image at 1280x1024, that would fit fine on my screen at 1280x1024, so there shouldn't be any reason to scale it down.

I looked in Board Settings within My Controls and didn't see anything.

Thanks!

This is something I would be interested in, also. I use the Image Zoom extension in Firefox, and occasionally I change the size of a large picture before it has finished loading. Then, when it tries to resize the already resized picture, it makes Firefox crash. :/

Remember that the majority of people out there are likely to have much lower screen resolutions. At work I'm on 1280x1024 and at home 1440x900. We want to make sure that there is a consistent look across the entire site for everybody. By disabling the "autoshrink" feature, you end up making the forum look b0rked for the vast majority that use lower resolutions.

I looked in My Control as well and couldn't see a setting for this so I assume it's a global thing, but one of our Dev's would need to confirm that!

Well we already set thumbnails at 640x480 for default, that breaks IE when the images aren't separated with a line break.

Most forums keep to 120x120 thumbnails :s We don't.

Right, and that's appreciated, but it seems like when the page is loading that it's loading the full version of the image rather than a thumbnail. It's only after the page is loaded that the images are resized down to the 640x480 versions. What I'm saying is, if it were a bandwidth issue, then I'd understand the exclusive use of thumbnails, but since the whole image seems to be loading anyways (unless I'm missing something), I'd think that it should be up to the user whether or not the full image is compressed down to a 640x480 thumbnail or not. You see what I mean?

Yeah, and it's a bit annoying looking at a full scale image then boom it's shrunk down. It would make more sense if it loaded as a thumbnail.

If you use Greasemonkey or Stylish, give this a jam. My first try at this so it might not work :/

Yeah, freezes my browser too, but thanks for the effort!

    • keep in mind some things like chrome look at this setting to disable some animations in browsers... its an accessibility thing
    • I always disable animations in Windows using sysdm.cpl and yes, it feels faster. I have also reduced animations in my android phone using dev options.
