I suspect this to be a bug, where images are resized automatically to a fixed size even though those settings are turned off in the admin control panel. Steps to reproduce the issue:

Image resizing in the admin area is for uploaded images which has the source image resized before being saved to disk. What you are seeing here is image sizing using CSS using the following code in the forums CSS file:- .msgBody img, .PMmsgBody img { max-width: 750px; height: auto; } Most modern browsers support this and it works very well so that the image is not too large for the post area. However, support is not so great in IE 9 where the image is not auto resized on the height and sometimes makes the image proportions incorrect. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

ahh -- thanks... that makes sense. I wish there was a feature where if you post an image, you get to click it and get a pop-up of the full-size image. Here is how it should be (using lightbox) http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/" rel="nofollow - http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/ That would be awesome! ------------- "When it gets dark enough, you can see the stars" -Charles A.

Lightbox requires the use of Thumbnails and most users do not have image resize components installed on servers in order to resize the images. Lightbox works well on websites where the web master adds the images to the server, but in a forum where members link to images on different websites as well as uploading images it would be very hard to setup such a system and highly error prone. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
