hear, hear !
I have been disappointed re photos in posts since the beginning of new ZCentral.
We are all grateful to Brad for the facility he provides and appreciate the work involved, so it is not a criticism, merely a gentle comment on the new forum.
It is indeed a visual hobby and if I wanted just yapping I would stay with Yahoo groups (boring).
I don't know whether it is global financial crisis that bites or some other reasons... but ZCentral seems to be poor shade of it's former self regardless of the new forum being far more glitzy that the old one

Indeed, it is only a request.

I have not yet tried photobucket here, lets see...

Nope, just as tiny as the rest.

IE yuck are you sure about that?
another emergency security patch
Hope you can find the solution Brad, because I am not going back to Windows just for the pictures
I will have to try few other FireBoard forums to see if my Firefox suffers the same?
Thanks a lot

This is a problem when using the firefox browser.

Euh...I'm using Opera I use Opera on Gentoo, both on the desktop and the laptop. But at the office I use Opera on XP, I'll check if it is different there. Did a quick check on Konqueror and there it is a small pic as well.

Probably the forum soft uses a setting that is IE only. So much for standards.

yeap, the only thing we need to know is how to set it up, so that the pictures show the size we want rather than postage stamp size...
I have searched FireBoard forum and haven't found anything relating to it so far

I wish it was a setup issue. I have max photo size set at 1500 x 1500 in the Fireboard setup. It appears as though another module we are using such as Community Builder, Jom Comment, Jom Gallery, CB Juice, Yootheme, etc, etc, may be causing the pics to thumbnail in SOME browsers but not all. Fireboard seems to work fine solo but does not play well with others. It is going to require someone with extensive php and mysql code writing skills to debug the source code. Thats where I get stuck. I can research, buy, and install, setup, and config open source php modules but I can only debug/re-code to a very limited extent.

Here is a 1200 wide image showing the previous image at full size browsing with IE.

"Something" is causing the image to thumbnail in some browsers?

Hi Brad, Thanks for the old college try. I'm going to post a test photo and see what I get. Cheers, Jim CCRR:ohmy:

I tried it and got a 'your photo is too large' message.

Trying again:::

Well it works for me. See next message.

Ok guys I think I got it? Looks good in fire fox to me! Max upload size = 1024 and all pics will be resized to 780 as the text area is 800. Anything wider pushes the user names and avatars off the right side into no-where land. What do you see?

Ok, hang on. Allright, I changed it to max 1600px and 1000k file size. Try it. Now, that only applies to files uploaded directly into the forum. Images linked from other sites or our gallery is another story, they can be much larger but will be "thumbnailed" to 860px or so when viewed here, I believe.....possibly.

It was a setting after all. It was a setting called "Max Text Width". Go figure. It was thumbing to 180px. Thanks for the challenge guys!
