One of the issues I am having with my forum is that people are uploading lots of high resolution photos without optimizing them first. Because of this, it's causing the disk space on my server to fill up faster than I'd like. Even if I put a data cap on the size of the image that can be uploaded, this just frustrates members, because then they get error messages about their image being too big, but they usually aren't savvy enough to figure out how to resize it.
I'm really shocked that something like this isn't built into XenForo by default. For instance, I know if you post a 8Mb photo to Facebook, they optimize it as it's being uploaded (granted they REALLY degrade the quality).
I know @ThemeHouse makes an image optimizer plugin that takes advantage of Kraken.io, but I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go about this.
The ideal goal here would be that I could optimize every photo on my forum currently, and that going forward, every time someone uploaded a file, it would optimize that image as well.
I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong sub-forum. I wasn't 100% certain where to post it.
