Dayve,
Mind if I steal your proportional sizing for another mod?
(kinda too late - but I thought I'd ask )
Cheers Azaniah

Dayve,
Certain jpg files do not show up using this method.
Looking at the files in text ones that show up have this
˙Ř˙ŕ
Ones that do not have this..
˙Ř˙á+Exif
So I'm guessing that the 4th character means something different in jpg terms.
Is it just a case of adding some logic (somewhere) to account for this different character?
Thanks Az

Azaniah: you completely lost me..  please post a jpg here that doesn't work because I'd be quite interested. thanks.
and by the way, I came up with a client side version of proportioning that uses the DOM which I am thinking of incoporating with member images that are urls. here is an example with code (a lot shorter):

Dayve,
I've emailed you a couple of jpg's to demonstrate the problem. (yes my cat IS called dog - it's not my cat actually - my housemates - anywho)...
I hope this makes the point clear
Cheers Az

wow, this was a unique experience and the only thing I can think of is it has some kind of digital signature or something. I tried tricking it by opening it in Corel PhotoPaint and exporting it to a jpg and even a gif and both failed. time to do some research on this but again this is unique. where did you get the beaker image from? this may help me investigate. thanks.

So you know,
The dog one was from a digital camera, the beaker one was just of the net somewhere.
I did a quick shifty through some images here, most if not all the ones of the net are like beaker, all the actual photos are like dog...
ROFL - I hope that makes sense..
Cheers Az

Dayve or others,
What would it require just to do the dynamic proportionizing of the avatars?
I'm using version 3.1sr4.
If possible I would like to stay away from the upload mod.
Thank You.

I am thinking of using this as my baseline for client side avatar proportioning... it should work. this is the code I will start with:

Looks good,
Just not quite sure how I would add such a feature to the forum code.

well, I'd like to spend a little time on it but right now I need to focus on my new forum upgrades since I am converting to 3.3 on a SQL2000 DB, but I will post it as soon as I am done. I prefer the server side more than the client side because you can still have members put in a faulty URL whereas the server side version allows members to upload the image on your server so that you will not have any broken avatar links.

dayve, I have a question on this:
which is better
1. like what you have in your code, get and resize the width/height by fso everytime a avatar picture is loaded.
2. when upload the avatar to the db, store the resized width/height in two fields and retrieve them later together with the avatar name etc. (using this method it would be hard to change your width/height settings)
thanks.

well good point. the only reason I get the value later is because I cannot get the file properties until it is save on my server so I would need to upload the image and then get the properties and then write the width and height to the table whereas right now I am saving the avatar, and then getting the properties later which is NOT stored in a database.
I don't know which would be faster but to be honest, it hasn't been an issue for my board but I would like to know what everyone thinks.
The client side one I am working on should prove to be faster because the sizing is taken care of on the local machine.. Thanks for an intriguing question.
