Thanks for nekroposting.
Even if you have a 100+ down connection, if someone puts 20 high res images is his post it will take a while till you can read it. Especially because the site loads images first in full size and then downscales them. We had threads where people put 50 high res pictures in their buildlog, it took a good two minutes till you could read anything because the website was going up and down resizing images.
Also i have 11/1, not exactly great either and i have been around on this forum every day for the past 1.5 years.

And ty for nekroplying :)
 
would it work if we just restricted the resolution in HTML? surely that would be easiest?

Of course it would. Most modern forums allow any size image upload and then re-size the image displayed. You'd think this site could figure out those things.

If you watched the latest subscriber video you wouldn't say "You'd think this site could figure out those things". There are talks of a new forum.

This does happen if you upload directly to the forums.

But, for most people it's easier to upload images to a website such as imgur, and then insert it into a post with image tags. I don't really think any forum can deal with that?

Here, it loads the entire image, and then resizes it to 800 pixels wide, and whatever the scaled height is according to that. It's just the fact that it loads it first that causes issues.

You have to remember you replied to a thread that hasn't seen activity in 2+ years and in that time image hosting sites auto size pictures quite nicely, So the whole point of this is knd of null and void :)

This was the point of my reply to the thread, I see that the sarcasm was lost on most of you. This OP needs to be removed as it is obsolete. There, said without sarcasm so that even the slowest of you can catch the meaning.

Insulting people on a forum that your new to is not the way to go bud, Anyway lets drop the thread now shall we.

No more arguing guys.

And please GT Alpha could you please edit your previous post in future rather than double posting. ;)

Just to finish this thread off, you're both wrong.

That's not how images work in HTML. If you put an image into an img tag that's bigger than the size you want to display it at, it still loads in it's full, original resolution and then it gets scaled down.

Which funnily enough is exactly what happens here, the images get resized after they're loaded from their host. not before
