    Automatic Thread Image Resizing

    I apologize if this has been suggested in the past, I looked briefly but was unsuccessful in finding anything. All over the forums there are threads that have multiple pictures posted by users. Obviously some people have a larger screen size then others so when they post a screenshot related to Runescape, computer help, or even scam reports you constantly see images that take up more then the visible part of the screen causing the page to get stretched and making you need to scroll over to see the rest of the image. Now obviously this is not too much of a big deal, however it can be rather annoying when you are trying to read a post about the image posted or other posts in the thread and every post on the thread is not stretched.

    I am using a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 which is fairly small. However I am sure I am not alone in receiving this occurrence. Here are a few examples where it happens for me:

    http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1107674

    http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1111119

    And quite a few others in This forum

    On previous Vbulletin forums that I have been a part of they have have a certain plug-in that automatically re-sizes all images that are over a set size. Above the image there is a button that you can click that expands the image to the full size and that you can re click to set to the re-sized size. Doing this allows easier thread navigation and makes things seem generally more organized.

    I believe that This is the plugin that I am thinking of, however I am not positive.

    If implemented it would make browsing the forums and threads on sythe much more tidy and helpful to users with smaller screens. Not to mention if implemented there is still an option to show the full size, so there is not much a downside.

    I mean, I'm not the one to reward laziness/ignorance in resizing/cropping images, however this wouldn't cause harm to anyone if implemented.

    Support.

    If it can be done with Sythes version of vBulletin, then I think it would be beneficial.

    If this can be implemented w/ this version of vBulletin, then I don't see any reason not to do so, however as old as our version is, I'm not sure if it can be supported.

    If it's not too much of a hassle for the admins to add this plug-in, then I support.
    It's a nice little thing to have.

    However, I am totally fine with it now. Your suggestion is just a little plus.:p

    If the current version of Vbulletin supports this, also if it's not too much of a hassle for admins, then we should do it. I don't see any negatives. I support!

    Bump, It would be nice to see more support / criticism gathered for this suggestion. Also I do think it should be supported on our version of vB. I'll look again later to make sure but I am pretty sure it is supported.

    Does anyone with experience with vB know what plugin it is that I am thinking of? I linked one in my first post here, however I do not have a license so I can't view everything on their website. BUMP also.
