XF 2.1 Images in posts as thumbnails instead of full image?

[NealC]

I originally had no dimensions set in the Attachments options area as that seems it would reject images larger but instead it seems it will resize them? However, I prefer the vB way of images in a post where they are thumbnails instead of full size images. What do I need to set so images larger than 800 height and/or 800 px width are instead thumbnails which can be clicked for larger full size images? I understand I may have to rebuild some of the cache items which is fine, I just want to get my new site tuned to show less overwhelming images hard to view on a laptop per se.

There is a great add-on that does this re-sizing automatically. It's by @AndyB and works excellently.

Convert image

Description: Converts hot linked images to attachments. The Convert image add-on will convert hot linked images in messages to attachments. Hot linked images are those images that have been inserted using the Image icon in the editor toolbar...

Best to use ImageMagick if you have it installed, but can also use GD IIRC for the resizing.

Cheers,
Gerry
