UPDATE - Uploading Pictures to the Forum

[ryanw]

I like that you have added this capability to the forum, but I have a couple suggestions.

1. The only file type allowed for a larger size is for jpg. Some people use other formats such as png.
2. This will take a little programming, but you can add an image handler that will resize and compress images that are uploaded. There are php modules that do this. That or, Mechanic688 will have to get to work creating all new tutorials for editing images

PNG files are more for photo editing programs such as Photoshop. I dont know what all file types admin is allowing, but I know vbulletin will accept multiple file types.

It could be that the user was uploading a JPG file, so the admin only increased that one. Not sure of course, but that is my guess.

it still works the same, for particular websites simply use that websites recommended photo sizes
