Ok, on gaming sites its common to post screenshots of significant events but this brings up a big (pun intended) problem. If you have a post or two with 800px wide images you get the all too familiar side scroll bar and forget containing the forum within a header/footer connected table scheme. I was wondering if there is a possibility of making images subject to a max width when they are displayed. Kind of like find images as they are being output, determine if the image size is over a certain width and maybe setting the width to the max on the fly so <img src=mybigfile.jpg width=800> would be changed to <img src=mybigfile.jpg width=400> I realize this would distort the image but personally, for me Id rather not be forced to see images in posts (except for signatures) at all. I would rather all images be hyperlinks with a target of blank so you could read clean posts and click just like an article would have "Fig 1" such as... Last night during the game we ran into this guy who appeared to be running a cheat. While we watched he scored two perfect hits with grenades (image) and then managed to out shoot everyone in the helo building without getting a scratch (image) So, thats my perfect world and if either situation could be managed I think these would be excellent options to have in a forum product, ... oh, and I left out that my links no images option is something most DIAL-UP  users would appreciate as well.

Ryan and Mark, Maybe the uploading component can do the resizing and potentially even thumbnailing of the picture to open up full size. I know that ASPjpeg does that and they may have a .net version. I am using it very successfully for a gallery setup I have created. Drew

Hi Drew - I think you read my mind - i do plan to add resizing to the image upload control. You will be able to set the max width / height of images and all uploaded images within posts will be resized to the maximum size keeping the aspect ratio. I did something similar many moons ago when i offered InstantGallery.NET 
Kindest Regards,
