This is the only forum I'm a member on that doesn't have auto picture resize.

Example of a picture that the forum should auto resize.

Is there a button that can be clicked to auto resize photos?

It is a conflict between Firefox and Thaivisa lightbox script. If you use Chrome/IE it does autosize correctly. Been a problem with FF and TV for quite a while now.

//Edit - If you add it as an attachment rather than an offsite linked image it will work correctly.

Pinned topic on posting images - http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/614372-posting-images-guidelines/

If the forum had a webmaster with the ability to code, this could be fixed easily.

Thanks,

But that involves saving it, then uploading it, rather than just linking to it.

Perhaps moderators could save and then upload oversized images as attachments via editing the posts.

You can contact Invision Power Board with your concerns as that coding part is in their purview as it is part of the kernel. smile.png

We have done it occasionally but usually just delete the post as it is the member's responsibility to follow the image guidelines of TV. That is no more than 1024 wide, 800 wide is optimum for all displays.

I don't know where you are hosting your images but most image hosting sites give options of the size of the image you wish to embed (share).

err... CSS and templates are not part of the kernel...

An esay way to force a crude resize in the browser is for example to slap a css "max-width" property on the image.

For use in a responsive theme, put the desired width in each sub-css sheet for every viewport size.

If anyone is worried about modifying the theme, I think IPB also offers the possibility to add site-specific overrides, so the standard style files don't have to be modified.

If what you think is possible were in fact possible, you can be assured that Thaivisa would have implemented it. As Tywais explained, it is a problem with one particular browser, Firefox, but not with other browsers.

It appears that the picture in the first post of this topic was uploaded at dimensions of 1600x901px.

Downloaded from the display on my Windows computer, the picture has the file size of 396kB. Downloaded from the Android tablet Nexus 7 and the Android phone Nexus 4, the size is 149 kB. To what size did you expect it to be reduced?

The picture displays correctly on all of the three devices mentioned above.

max-width in % is ignored by firefox when the parent element(s) have no defined width.

you might want to give a width to parent element(s).

Linked from a website, not from a site hosting the poster's pictures.

"To what size did you expect it to be reduced?"

To one that doesn't require a scroll bar to see it all, and also push over the forum's page so buttons such as 'post' 'view new content' so posters need to scroll over just to do that.

Every other forum I use automatically reduces photos to the width of the page, and has a bar along the top of them with info 'This photo has been reduced from size xxxxx. To see it at full resolution, please click on it'.

Thaivisa needs to upgrade.

In that case, I can confirm that I have no problem whatsoever viewing your picture. No scrolling needed. No part of the forum page is covered by the picture.

It seems that you are using a browser that is not fully compatible with HTML standards.

As an experiment, I viewed page 1 of this topic with Netscape and and far as I can see the picture picture attached in post #1 gets displayed correctly:

post-21260-0-07250200-1432720736_thumb.p

This got me to thinking that if a stone-age browser like Netscape has no problem with this picture, any other browser that does have a problem must be seriously deficient.

nope... the issue is just that the W3C has defined no standard as to what to do when an element has a dimension defined in % but no parent element on which the % figure can be based on.

100%. ok. 100% of what ??

So, every browser software has made their own decision, and they didn't all decide the same.

Cross-browser compatibility is still a big problem in the WWW, but a lot can be resolved by coding with cross-browser compatibility in mind. A browser with such a large market share as Firefox cannot be ignored or dismissed as "defective".

The answer to that is that Google stopped contributing in the development of Firefox, and now Yahoo is the big man behind Firefox.

Been on a Yahoo page lately, that is like going back 10 years in the time. If they even can't get their own webpages working correctly, what do you expect.

I believe the OP has so far not said what browser is giving him the problem he has described.

Let's say the picture uploaded by the OP had a width of 1900px, ie 1900px = 100%. To what percentage would the browser he is using have to reduce it so that it displays correctly on his screen?

Sorry, that's not how HTML works. Relative sizes are relative to the parent element, not to the element itself.

So, if the parent element is 900 px wide, a max-width:90% would yield 810px.

Browser used is Firefox (company computer).

Now go click post, and have to scroll over first.

No other forum I use has this issue.

Up your game Thaivisa!

I'd say it is for Firefox to up their game, seeing that apparently all other browsers have no problem displaying your picture correctly.

What, exactly, do you expect Thaivisa to do about it? Thaivisa did not write the program that created the above source code when you uploaded your picture. Thaivisa did not write the Firefox browser. Thaivisa did not write Lightbox.

Suggestion: complain to Firefox.

Well, if you have nobody who is able to fix it, then the best you can do as a customer of IPB is to log a bug/request with them.

Incorrect.

Other forums have no issue with autosizing while on firefox.

They also have no issues with multi-quoting.... whistling.gif

Perhaps if Thaivisa listened to constructive criticism and proactively developed the forum the same as other forums that don't have these issues, it would be a better forum.

This topic is going around in circles now and counterproductive and an explanation has been given. I will check if there has been a ticket submitted to IPB either by us or other IPB sites but as stated, it is out of our hands. TV does not modify the fundamental code of IPB because when a new release of the board comes out we have to modify it again. A new major release is coming out soon so will see if the same issue is there or fixed.

      Thai-Chinese Collaboration: MOU Signed for Environmentally Friendly Waste-to-Energy Plant

      A groundbreaking Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed between Thailand’s Vision Inspector and Engineering Co., Ltd. and China’s Aurorean Recovery Co., Ltd., marking a major step in the development of environmentally friendly community waste-to-energy power plants. The signing ceremony, held at Aurorean Recovery’s headquarters, was attended by key figures from both organisations. Representing Vision Inspector and Engineering were Chairman Visarat Potprasart, Civil Engineering Manager Wisarut Rithilert, Public Sector Liaison Manager Chatchai Sapseesuwan, Technical Specialist Manager Manoon Permpintong, Electrical Engineering Manager Natchawarakan Pornrattanun, and Facility Manager Manoch Wangnak. The Chinese side was led by Mr. Thomas Jing, Chairman of Aurorean Energy. Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate on the Waste-to-Energy (Thai-China) project, leveraging advanced gasification technology to generate electricity from municipal waste. Operating at high temperatures of 1,000-1,200 degrees Celsius, the gasification system promises a clean energy solution free of dioxins, pollutants, waste by-products, and odours. The waste incinerator, featuring a 360-degree rotational axis, ensures optimal combustion quality. Residues from the process can be repurposed into high-strength construction materials or landfill materials, while excess energy from the steam turbine system can be managed efficiently, maintaining sub-zero temperatures where needed. This innovative approach addresses waste management challenges while supporting environmental sustainability, combining waste elimination with clean energy production. The project’s initial implementation will take place in Kanchanaburi province as part of Thailand’s broader strategy to establish permanent waste management solutions and generate renewable energy. With an investment of THB 1.35 billion, the pilot plant will feature a 6-megawatt capacity and handle at least 500 tons of waste per day. The project aligns with the Energy Regulatory Commission’s 2022 directive on purchasing electricity from community waste-to-energy plants. Construction is expected to be completed within three years, setting a benchmark for similar projects across Thailand’s municipalities, provincial administration organisations, and subdistrict administrative organisations. The partnership highlights the shared commitment of Thai and Chinese enterprises to leveraging advanced technology for sustainable development, with a vision to support special economic zones, tourism, and border trade.

      Sing Buri: Pickup Truck Crash Claims the Lives of Father and Daughter

      A crash occurred in Sing Buri province, where a father and his young daughter lost their lives following a collision between a motorcycle and a pickup truck. On November 22, 2024, officers from the Bang Rachan Police Station were alerted to a crash on Highway 3454 near Wat Muang Intersection, Bang Rachan District, Sing Buri. The crash involved a motorcycle and a gray Isuzu D-Max pickup truck, both bearing Sing Buri license plates. Upon arrival at the scene, authorities found three injured individuals. Among them was a woman who was a passenger in the pickup truck. Rescue volunteers promptly transported her to Sing Buri Hospital for treatment. Additionally, two other individuals, both in critical condition, were discovered at the site. Rescue teams performed CPR in an effort to save their lives, but tragically, both succumbed to their injuries. Preliminary investigations revealed that the deceased were a father and his daughter who had been riding the motorcycle. Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24
