As designed 2.2. beta 6 attachment resize

[Seeker-Smith]

Affected version

2.2 beta 6

I started testing beta 6. When I setup my test board I set thumbnail size to 100 from (150). My test post continues to show thumbs at 150 but the quality is poor so I'm sure they are actually 100 X 100. If I use the tool to resize the thumbs to 75 and check my post. the thumbs the quality is really bad but visually they are still at 150.

In conclusion I believe that the thumb display does not respect the actual thumb size. I've attached a screen shot of a thumb that should be 75 X 75

This is a change in 2.2 but this is generally intentional. For non-embedded images, the thumbnail will always cover the attachment display area.

This is one of the reasons we now recommend at least 150px in that option.

Hi and thanks for the quick reply. I think this is a really bad idea for a couple reasons off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are more.

1) Any site selling picture content will not like this. A thumb at 150 X 150 is giving the content away for free.
2) My site and others like mine have threads that may go back years and are still active. In my case a post in the threads can have up to 50 thumbs.
3) Why bother giving us the option to resize? You'll say because some sites want bigger thumbs. Well what us that don't? I switched to xenforo because of the way images were presented.

Please do not leave this in resolved bugs but as far as I'm concerned its HUGE!

I'd create a suggestion if you think there should be a limit for minimum image dimensions.

What @btmgreg said. Xenforo has said it is not a bug so if you want it changed, it needs to go in as a suggestion. Otherwise, it will indeed stay in Resolved Bugs.
