Speed Problems, Errors and Image Size Issues

Postby Craig on Sun Apr 06, 2008 10:27 pm

I've now isolated the problem behind all of the server errors and general forum speed problems - my own bodged code that I wrote to resize images bigger than 500 pixels :lol: :oops:.

Basically, the code downloaded the image from the server to get the width of it, then downloaded it again when it was viewed on the page - so essentially doubling the page-load time.

I've taken the code out and reverted back to the old size limits until I can figure out a new way of resizing the images.

To be fair it is going lightning fast for me now, so I take my hat off to thee (while pointing and laughing at thy coding blunderz)

Is there any need to resize pics? It seems ok now and never seemed to be a major issue before.

Well if people don't mind the 500-pixel limit then I guess I don't need to try and figure out a new way of reszing. The reason I've got a limit on the widths is that images bigger than 500 pixels wide break the site layout at low resolutions (800x600 mainly).

No, I'd rather them resized than blocked, I meant is there any need for a cap on size at all. That said, I do have a 20" widescreen.

Bastard, I'm only 19"!

It does tend to piss me off when I can't post an image, but it's just something to work on really, not a disaster..

Oh yeah, totally, not like it's a major issue. Anyway I found a solution. Write a bit of code so that if anyone who has less than a 17" regular screen trys to view an image, their PC explodes. Problem solved! :dance:

Why don't, images be what ever size they are, but the forum size has a limit, so no matter what size the image is your post is the same size, and you just have scrolly bars in your post.

I'd love to plug our TV into the PC.
