hello, i am not sure if this has officially been requested or discussed before but i feel this would be a very very good thing to improve.
we did discuss it a little here https://xenforo.com/community/threa...sites-what-settings-addons-do-you-use.174257/
i would like to hear an official reply tho and im sure some others are interested as well...
so yes, as we were saying there, it would be really great if xenforo copied more than one size thumbnail upon uploading and gave those options for embedding....e.g. small, medium, full
this will allow sites to leave original images 'unaltered', accessible by clicking thumbnail, while not negatively effecting page load and user experience.
click and drag resize functionality is great but you really cannot stretch a thumbnail very far before it distorts badly....
if you shrink a full sized image you can add quite a bit of page load size for essentially a slightly larger thumbnail....
or for full sized images.......site admins must choose between compressing and resizing large images into post, arguably ruining some professional photos....or else allowing open settings that put a heavy and unnecessary weight on page loading, which, for mobile users, limited data plans etc alone, is an unwelcome idea...not to mention potential serving lags...
i think it is one of like, less than 5 things vbulletin5 did right, the trend is being adopted more and more on sites like twitter as mentioned in the linked topic....
will xenforo work in options like this for image heavy sites? we too commonly getting disregarded, im hoping its not the case again here.......i will very much rather not employ a custom solution to something so core as this... however for things to function optimally and practically, in our view their is no other option really.....can it be in the core code?? please please begging on one knee lol...that will be my happy new year and birthday wish
