It would be great to be able to set the max width or height that can be displayed in posts.

Try as I might, the herd cannot control its desire to post massive images no matter how many requests.

Anyway, it's a wish of mine.

Thanks.

Add the following to your forum.css.tmpl template and recompile your theme:
img {
   max-width: 450px;
}


You may also want to change the "Max Attachment Size" of your forums to prevent users from uploading large images.

Thanks for the reply. I added your code:

img {
   max-width: 450px;
}


...at the bottom of forum.css.tmpl and I rebuilt the theme. This code seems to have no effect. Pictures linked that are 1200 wide are still 1200 wide whilst displaying.

What I was looking for was a way to make it so no image that a user want to embed can exceed a pre-set img width = in my forum's case 800 pixels.

It should work with most modern web browsers. Did you clear your browser's cache to ensure latest CSS is picked-up? If would also help if you tell us what browser and version of it you are using.

Thanks, I'm using Firefox 3.0.10 and fud 2.8.1.

I'll try refreshing things...

I can confirm the code has no effect. in Firefox (latest Linux and Windows versions), latest Chrome , latest IE, etc. - no joy or any restrictions gets placed on the width of images.

Are you assuming this should work, or know for sure?

Thanks again!

Sorry to hear that. It's definitely working for me (FF 3.0.10 and FUDforum 2.8.1).

Thanks for the confirmation! Did you just drop that code at the end of forum.css.tmpl? It's right at the end of mine.

Yes, I've just did it again by placing the code at the bottom of the CSS template. Steps:

1. Install 2.8.1
2. Post an image
3. Add CSS code to bottom forum.css.tmpl (just before the {PAGE: END})
4. Rebuild the theme
5. Reload page and note that the image is smaller

That is just so bizarre. I'm doing everything exactly as you say and still the images are as wide as ever. Sad

Edit: note up to now, I copied a template and used that copy "new" as my test on this. Well it got me thinking I should try this code with the default template. And now it works! Why not with the copy? I don't know.

Again, a big thanks to you Frank! I been wanting to limit the size of images for YEARS!
