Seeing as though you took 2 of our smiley's....

.....can we have something in return? Can't you make it so people can't post pictures any bigger than standard message board size? *insert missing confused smiley* ;) It's really really really (yes that much) annoying. Or if they are bigger, can they be displayed as a thumbnail or something?

Just limit the size of pics, easy to do in code.

[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)

So why is the confused smiley gone? Is no one confused anymore?

Sorry about the holiday pic folks - it was all i could think about on Tuesday - it is the tip-putting-together day after all.

In brighter news, any images in posts should now auto-resize to the width of a post

Let me know if you have any problems with this

It's abusive.

This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

MSE dan, there is a very simple little add on for vbulletin, to automatically resize pictures posted that are too big.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=184571&page=10&highlight=Image+Resizer

very easy to install...though you might want to check to see what sort of load it might add to the server.
