I would guess to save on bandwidth....we don't want to bankrupt Rob now... :D
Mark, I risked life and limb to get you some pics of the reclusive heir to the Ferrari throne DESenzo and no photo chops! Dont' tell me that his goons have gotten to you! Dale
pic test 2 ....not going as planned. May actually have to read up on this. Mongo is confused. Mark - how did you put the full size picture in the post?
Mark thats a great shop !! Only need to make the red behind the rollbar a bit lighter and its perfect !
yes, I think Rob is trying to sort out a solution to the whole picture thing - he wants to get rid of the tags so that we cannot link from another source and eventually get red x's (which is a really good idea), but also wanted to save loading time with the thumbnails seems as though many are against this however, there really hasn't been a statement of what is going to be done yet, but something probably will be
Mark i think thats the pic u wanted http://speed.*************/boardpics/2003-10-1/1644447-amenascea.jpg i have some others if you want , this pic was taken with a crappy camera.
You guys, I must be the only person here with this problem... When I click on any thumbnail to view it normally, it doesnt load? All I get is a little icon in another window that opens up that shows that the picture didnt load. Ive tried it for every thumbnail on the site and I havent been able to view any normally...even ones that I posted. What am I missing? Im all for the thumbnails as long as I can actually see them normally eventually
Every page sent to your browser is sent with a MIME (multipurpose internet mail extension) type field. For most pages, the "type" is "text/html", images are generally sent as "image/jpeg". When you click the thumbnail, the image is sent with MIME type "unknown/unknown", so your browser doesn't know what to do with it. I gather that IE just opens it in the window anyway (probably by examining the downloaded data itself). Mozilla-based browsers (Netscape, Mozilla, Galeon) asks you to either save it to disk or select a helper application to open it. The response is browser-specific, and depends on your settings. I hope this is something that can be fixed in the vBulletin forum settings, because I really don't want to tell my browser to try to open every unknown type in "xview" (photo viewer). The other vBulletin boards I frequent use full sized images, so I don't know if thumbnail expansion MIME type is a setting, or just plain broken in vBulletin. I don't imagine it's one of Rob's top priorities, just yet. (I'd guess that sleep is Rob's top priority at the moment. )
