Auto resize on the forum would make life easier, but I dont think i would want it if it bogs down on the forum speed. Speed is the nr.1 priority on forums imo.

Problem with image resizing not being done by the forum is that if the images are very large, they will only be scaled down by the browser. In that case the readers of the topic/post still have to download the whole image.

Another solution is storing the images on a pic-server, I can facilitate such a function (in fact: it's already on the frontpage) but atm I have a non-offsite-image-linking policy (due to obvious reasons) on this and all images will have a TRUENO dot ORG logo at the right bottom of the image... Atleast the images will be shown on the forum. But ofcourse I can change such things.
