image suggestion

since most can't restrain from posting huge images, it might, maybe, possibly be a good idea to limit the size of image attachments for the benefit of those on dial up

many forums limit the attachments to one, if more are inserted in the post, they display as a link, giving the viewer a chance to decide if they want to view them or not

same with signature files.....those huge sigs can kill a dial up viewer...vanity....vanity...vanity

that's right guys, some people are still on dial up

I can certainly limit the number of attachments, and I can make the displayed thumbnail smaller. There *may* be an easy way to say "show more attachments," and that's a good idea I think. I will look in to it.

As for images linked in via external sources, as opposed to uploaded directly to the board, we don't have much control over the size of those unfortunately. The only option I would have there would be to turn off html tag posting, and that seems a little heavy handed. Maybe it would be better to just encourage people to use the built-in image stuff, and discourage them from linking enormous images from elsewhere?
