    Now I realize that having HTML allowed in posts is a problem concerning viruses and weird bugs and things, but really there is one tag that I would like to be able to use here.

    The <IMG WIDTH/HEIGHT> tags. You see, I post quite a few images, and I would like a way to be able to resize them to the 500/525px requirement without having to open photoshop, resize it, save it, and upload it. I guess I could continue doing it, but I'm lazy. So I was wondering if there's a way to allow certain tags to be used. Thanks.

    Unless of course someone knows a way to do this without HTML, and they could just tell me. Thanks.

    Images for what? Why can't you just link from the source?

    I could, but sometimes they're too big.
    Not for any specific reason, but I'm just saying, in the future. Such as images in the "What album are you listening to" thread and such.

    Too big to link? If they're too big, direct linking them onto the page will only slow LPA down.

    Plus, there's no need for covers in that thread. Can you imagine how long it would take to load the page if everyone did that? =D

    Oh, so making the images smaller wouldn't make them faster?
    I mean, I certainly know nothing about it, I'm just asking.

    And more or less everyone does do that. :lol:

    Anyway, it's no big deal, I'm a little out of it at the moment and figured I'd ask. Nevermind, I guess.



    [EDIT] Actually, pay no mind to this. I found a website that does what I want to be done. You can close this if you wish.

    Just a note, the image itself isn't actually resized. What I mean is that the full-sized image is downloaded, then cropped to the tag's specifications. Still the same sized file, just looks different, and results might not looks as good than if it was cropped with Photoshop/Fireworks.

    Oh, really? I wasn't aware of that.
    Well nevermind then.

    This thread was a really bad idea. :lol:

    Well, it was an honest concern. I was actually thinking along those lines until I realized what that would do to bandwidth and such.

    If it was linked from an outside source it wouldn't do shit to LPA's bandwith, just slow the page down.
