Image resizing

Falcao · 10-27-2010, 12:25 PM

Hi,

Is there an equivalent to the HTML tag <IMG WIDTH="w" HEIGHT="h" ...> when including an external image in a post?

Thanks

Hmm, good question. I am afraid we don't have this feature at this moment. What works is if you use the attach feature, then you can display images as thumbnails (inline or at the end of your post). But for external images, we'd have to look for a new solution.

[Checked] on our feature-want-list.

It's probably worth adding that we discourage the use of external images: it's bad "manners" to use someone else's bandwidth by displaying an image from their site, and there's no guarantee that the image will remain there (remember that someone might be viewing your post years in the future).

The best way to handle images is as attachments; that way they are stored on the MR server and are guaranteed to remain "available" whenever the message may be viewed.

I don't know if it's fair to tax MR servers with images, videos, and whatnot.

Fairer than leeching bandwidth. Ideally, of course, you'll have or rent your own server to park the image on, and solve the whole problem.

Touché. That's what I've done with 2 very large images. My question arose because of copyright concerns.

Or, you could put it on Imageshack.

Attaching images here is not a problem. As long as copyright is observed.
