images truncated

Post by vanatteveldt »

Large images seem to be capped at a maximum width without a scrollbar, leaving only the left-hand side visible.

For example: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=20663 links to http://i.amcat.nl/battery%20plant.png, but on screen I only see the left half:

Strange enough, if I zoom in/out in my browser, the the part of the picture that is visible changes. I had a quick look at the html/css, but didn't see anything fishy, so not quite sure what the issue is./

Is this a problem in my settings? (linux, ubuntu+i3, chrome/firefox)

If not, is there a different way I should include the picture?

This is a problem with phpbb... there are plugins, but I can only hope, that it will be installed.

I tried a simple CSS change, how's this working for you?

I had to CTRL+F5 (reload without cache), but now the image is scaled to the width of the page (Chrome 48 on Windows 7). Looks nice!

That's better, but we still need another solution. In the moment we can't distinguish pictures which are too big and pictures which fit perfectly.

Is that a problem? I would prefer this over a scrollbar.

There has to be another solution. Like I said, it's not possible to distinguish a picture which is exactly small enough to fit the screen or a picture which is to big and was scaled down. Some other site I know uses a small magnifying glass under big pictures, but I don't know how easy that would be to implement.
It should also be possible to get the original size picture by clicking on it / on a link.

Perfect.

Generating a link to the original source would be nice, but people can always right-click + open as.

I think "most" forums work with scroll bars, e.g. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost. ... stcount=15, but I think this solution (especially if you would add a link to view full size) is much nicer.

This does not work with images in attachments, example: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=20794
