I currently have an upload feature on my forum, but at times there are those members that post rather large images which stretch the topic out and make it very annoying to read the rest of the thread.
Well I just returned from DSL Reports website and flipping through their forum I noticed they have a feature where someone posted an image attachment within the forum which is displayed at a smaller (thumbnail) size. You can then click on the image to see the full size of it. I think this may be an easy addition to the posting upload mod but would like some input on things they would like to see added to a feature like this.
Take a look here first:

Well, the photoalbum MOD creates a thumbnail, maybe you can use the code for this in the forum posts? |

It does create a thumbnail, I´m not talking about the photoalbum I started but the MOD that for example SH uses. |

that's the one I am using at my site as well (see bottom of main page). the coding in it is pretty bad and all it does is resize it, not resample it. although I am not necessarily looking to resample the image... the one shn forums and I are using did include a feature for using some program to create thumbnails with it, but the product that it used was not free and not included in the download. |

As far as I know, resampling the image can only be done server side and requires a component to do the manipulation. Or you can use .NET code to perform the sampling, otherwise there is no pure code in asp that can do it. |

^^^ there is a program I mentioned earlier in this thread that came with the Photo Album mod that executes and creates thumbnails. I never said pure asp could do it. |

Dayve,
How hard would it be to add this feature to a MOD. I also like Doug's script! Are you thinking of combining the two?
If you are still interested in creating this MOD. I would like to see it.
Thanks for the support,
Etymon
