[Already Exists] Large Images added to posts?

[Martyn]

If a large image is added to the forum it does resize it, altho when clicking it, it puts it to the original size causing a really ugly look and not being able to view the whole image properly...

isnt there away to use the lightbox feature? or open in a new page??

example..

unsure if its ment to do that! but would like some feedback..

Thanks

You can already view the image full size if they are in the lightbox - click on the link in the top right corner.

You can also right click and open in a new tab.

See the FAQ regarding when the lightbox is triggered: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/#post-180445

Why don't images embedded from a URL appear in the lightbox?
The lightbox can only be triggered by an attached image. Once the lightbox has loaded, all images in the post (or page) will be displayed, including embedded images.

There's nothing to fix.
The lightbox isn't triggered by an embedded image from a URL.

We can only attach the lightbox trigger to attached images, although we can display all images from the page within the lightbox once it's open.

The rationale is that with hot-linked images, we can't be sure if we're supposed to be looking at the thumbnail, or a full sized image, or a small image etc., and we can't tell what (if anything) it's supposed to do when you click it. It's safer to not attach our own click events, as the behavior is simply not knowable.
