Maybe your set up?

This seems like the most universal way to improve things, and should probably be in the default CSS.

Also, I just added this to the script I use to generate the markup for adding images. I had been doing 800px images, but now it’ll do 800px which also scales down on small screens. A normal width=“100%” hint is annoying on large screens, but the max-width method can improve things on small screens without creating extra problems on big screens. :slight_smile:

Short on cash at the moment…can you consume said 1/2 bottle of beer and let me know how refreshing it is??

I can do 3 easy payments of $1.99.

I thought the beer was a ploy, he was buying you had to come to the cache site to drink it… his place that needs work. Figured he’d gather a crowd on the beer premise then put everybody to work. :stuck_out_tongue:

This forum “speaks” two languages, and I mean the Advanced Post Editor. I use no other due to the Simple Editor's unability to handle special character links.

The max-width thing does not work in the advanced post editor, or I do not seem to make it work. The advanced editor may thank some improvement. As I have said elsewhere this could get improvement with unification. Concerning conversion Simple to Advanced is incorrect, and Advanced to Simple is hopeless.

Onto what matters: the max-width thing is not really necessary for those who care to check their image's size. Images up to ≈640 pixels can be left unscaled, while the remaining can use width x%.

:-)

It's possible to use max-width with the advanced post editor. Just click the "advanced" tab in the image dialog and add it in the style section.

I always never have deliberate ulterior motives.

Always be afraid trust a flasholic bearing chains gifts.

Thanks for the tip zak.wilson, never used the advanced tab anyways. I guess some editor documentation would be of help.

Dale, I’ll take it! Go ahead and PM me that image file. :partying_face:

The following is to report something I already noticed in the past with regards to the max-width property. Let's see an example with a funny gif:


With 336 × 210 pixels of actual resolution I've scaled the gif at 3x its per axis resolution: 1008 × 630 pixels. Also, the max-width property is set at 100%. You will see the upper, scaled gif with wrong aspect ratio in small screens (with less than 1008 pixels of available space for the forum box).

Is it possible to set a youtube video to a % of column width.
I tried a few different ways and all I seem to be able to do is set the width in pixels.
Thanks for the help,
All the best,
Jeff

A test from youtube using video:FT 001 - YouTube width:400

If you watch this turn the VOLUME DOWN first.

Trying width % video:FT 001 - YouTube width:90%

Gets me 90 pixels

jeff51,

Setting the width in % as you did in the Simple Post Editor does not work, also tried a max-width attribute to no avail.

Let me say I've always been using fixed resolutions for videos via the Advanced Post Editor. Any video's optimal resolution can be obtained selecting “Nerd statistics” in the drop down right click/long tap video window menu.

Just tried setting the video width in % in the Dimensions left, horizontal box, using the Advanced Post Editor. It actually works, albeit it will look garbled while editing and Preview gets broken. Here it is set at 70% width:

Well, the width porcentual parameter does not work with videos; the forum engine fails to actually detect the correct video parameters and set its height accordingly when used that way. My advice, thus, is to set an actual valid video resolution. Here it is at 854 × 480:

What happened to max-width? All of a sudden, if I use this syntax, it ignores the % I entered and just shows the image at 100%.

Not sure that it answers my question. There is something wonky going on when using the ‘max-width’ operator.

Like this?

For some reason I get an error message when trying to insert an image into this thread using the image icon in Simple Post Editor quick reply box:

It would be helpful if you posted what you inserted. Perhaps leave off the < > delimiters so that the browser does not parse it as html.
