Post by: Goober5000 on June 05, 2007, 08:44:01 pm: I finally found the location in the SMF code where this can be done. Go me. :D

Any other tags people want?

Can't it be made to only shrink images, and not enlarge them? I don't know SMF though.
Title: Re: SPOILER and LVLSHOT tags restored
Post by: Sarkoth on June 07, 2007, 02:27:40 am: It seems, that the tag was removed.

So i won't ever see what the tag really did :(
Title: Re: SPOILER and LVLSHOT tags restored
Post by: Wanderer on June 07, 2007, 02:46:16 am: It works.. people on the above posts just abused it.

It basically resizes the image to fit the screen. Very useful with large (wide) images as then you do not have to scroll to the right the see the whole image but instead you get sort of a 'preview' of the whole image - of course clicking the image gives you the real (unscaled) image.

Code: [Select]

Post by: vyper on June 07, 2007, 05:16:55 am: ... those were classic HLP jokes that were removed. Bastards. :p
Title: Re: SPOILER and LVLSHOT tags restored
Post by: Goober5000 on June 07, 2007, 11:41:05 am: LVLSHOT is still working; Fury just edited it out of the posts.

LVLSHOT resizes an image to a width of 640, while keeping the height proportional; and it inserts a link to the non-resized image. This is so that large images don't stretch the post over the edge of the screen. It doesn't do any sort of thumbnailing though, so you still have to wait for the large image to download.

As an unintended side effect, it can also be used to stretch smaller images to a width of 640. That's what the smileys were doing. But that's a super-secret in-joke, meant to be used sparingly. :p

I'll change that once I see that it works correctly... (I was lurking when it was in use previously... IDR it).

Post by: Agent_Koopa on June 14, 2007, 07:19:45 pm: Essentially, it's like the [img] tag, except that it resizes the image in question to fit your screen, horizontally. Aspect ratio is preserved.

You need a "#" symbol after the "=" though. Like this: color=#66ff00

Found these, if you can implement them, I don't care what the tags are if you think of better ones, but I thought they'd be cool: (Maybe under the "More" link for the emoticons...)

...My point is i prefer guns over anything that involves being so close to your enemy(http://images.devshed.com/fdh/smilies/2gunsfir.gif)...besides, guns can kill alot faster then a knife depending on your skill at either one. Besides, knifes are alot more gruesome if you ask me...

:p That's where you use them.
