XF 1.0 File Upload and Image Placement Using Quick Reply

Everybody loves quick reply. Most forum software has implemented it in some form these days, but it tends to be lacking some functionality that means you often have to drag yourself back to the full editor page to achieve what you want, especially when it comes to attaching files to your messages.

XenForo allows you to upload files and place uploaded images into your posts right from the quick reply box when you're viewing a thread, you can then submit your message and it will be added to the discussion instantly.

... without ever leaving the page or opening a separate browser window.

I think I just fell in love with an image upload feature...

I feel in love with the whole XenForo package, just after a few days. I mean, isn't it just amazing? Better have this feeling then spending the last 8 months over at vBulletin feeling (almost) nothing but frustration, irritation, anger, disappointment, de-motivation (should I go on?) and doubt. Glad to see you like this as well, you seemed to be one of the few vBulletin 'promoters' left over there?

The image above is only 800px so is being shown almost full size in fixed width.

Try this one.

I tend to find myself more impartial to all the politics of these entities, and instead just go with my own experience and then what I retrieve via user feedback. I actually like IPB, VB and xenforo... I think they all have their unique niceties... If all 3 could play nice together and develop the one outcome... wow... would users just win win!!!

Yes... that full size image aspects needs to set a maximum for the screen being viewed upon I think. That is a bit silly it just going insane.

By this do you mean check if the height and width are greater than $x and $y, then automatically use the thumbnail, or just link? Or do you mean it in some other way?

One Word... Wow!

I love the way you guys think! Keep up the great work!

Defaulting to a thumbnail would be nice, lest the bug just gets fixed instead and it works properly.

We did anyway... Um... not that I would know what happened to them, I swear.

Mike may live in the UK, but I'm pretty sure he isn't from the UK

What I mean is that an image posted inline to what this specific style I would take at around the 960px standard fixed width design, then when clicking on the image it should not break out to the right side in full size, but instead either open in an ajax window automatically scaled to the first boundary for resolution it hits, or open in a new tab. Something better than clicking it and it breaking out the right side of the design... how???
