I know that the reason the board resizes images is to keep the page from getting stretched out and keep us from scrolling over forever to read the posts, but can it be done where you can click the picture to see it in fullsize? When certain pictures are resized, they're awful to look at. Right now we've got to right click the picture, get properties, and paste it in a new browser.

Something like this board's resizing (http://www.camaroevolution.com/forum/t46522/) would be pretty cool. A bar at the top of the image tells you it was resized, and if you click it, it shows the image at full size. :)

I already posted them here first. :D

I really like it as opposed to pasting the picture's URL into a new browser. That's especially a pain in the nuts using the touchpad on my laptop.

Plenty, actually...just bad timing. SEMA and all...but I am looking into a better solution and will continue when I get back.

I kinda figured SEMA might have had something to do with it. Take pictures and share them with everyone! I almost had a chance to go one year but couldn't make it. :(

Have you looked into this since getting back from SEMA, or has it been too busy with the cars being sent out? :)

Yes, and yes. :D

Sorry all, just overloaded, as usual.

Is it actually something that you can do, or does the board software not support such a feature?

I try to help out making it easier to see pictures in full size by often adding a hotlink below the picture, but that can be time consuming and a general pain in the butt. This thread (http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/showthread.php?t=648285) is one that I added links to, but there are others where I just have way too many pictures to add a hotlink, or it's just trouble I don't feel like going through at the time.

Not supported naively. We usually search for a good plugin, but we are careful on which ones we use. Sometimes they get outdated with board software updates, or are buggy or whatever. We just have to test things thoroughly as the idea is to make things better and not a pain in the ass. :)

As we always say, cool things are coming. Then again, those big wheels always turn slowly.

Dammit, I hate having a job and a family...

Jason -

That is really nice. I don't care for the "Image is resized message" just because I like my images against a solid white/black background typically. Also when you hover over it the picture moves a little bit? I'm assuming thats due to the image is resized thing? I'd just have it very subliminal (which I can tell your going at) and just change the mouse pointer to a magnifying glass when you hover over it.

Also, I'm using Firefox 3.

I noticed that it is working in one of the threads already. :metal: Thanks, Jason!

Oh, and I already ordered one. It got here today actually. :D

I must add that I really like the "next" and "previous" functions.

Haha, I've already got nearly 150 Camaros from 1:64 to 1:18. I don't have much room for duplicates. :p

i just noticed this new feature in another thread, and one thing ive noticed on other boards and with this new thing is when i slick my scroll wheel to scroll down the page and i just happen to be on an image, it automatically opens it in a new tab. Thats not that bad, but i end up looking up and seeing that i have 20 pictures open that i didnt know i opened. I dont know if something like that can be changed, and if not, its no big thing at all, just thought i would mention it :thumb:

That is up to the way you have your wheel settings. Any link will do that when you click your wheel on it.

So, Shock, is it fixed like you wanted it, or what? You know I can't tell. :)

Yes, I'm pretty happy with the new feature. It's a lot easier to see the images in full size now than it was before, and I think it's a feature that most people on here will see as an improvement. :)

It resizes anything that was above the board's default, which I think was either 800x 640 or something long those lines.

Meh, I guess it doesn't work that way afterall. :(

This picture isn't 800 pixels...



Or you can eat whatever the hell you want as long as you sell your car for this:

But with stronger wheels of course. I lost every ounce of body fat I had and my legs are jacked. And I can still drink lots of beer. :cool:


Weird... it WAS clickable... now it isn't. :confused:
