There is no specific height or width that fits well in the forum. It all depends on the user's screen size or the resolution used.

So what TalkImg just does is indicate what the width or height of the image actually is (without any alteration).



I inform you that, to minimize the impact of disproportionate images, from now on, the default embed code is the one that only shows the height of the image. (The other options remain available.) We will see what the result will be in the coming times.

You would need to write a few lines of code for this to work, which could take several hours to test and implement. I sincerely believe that this case does not justify this work. But, who knows, maybe in a future update I can explore this idea.

So specifying only the height didn't solve the problem: if the horizontal browser resolution is smaller than the image width, the aspect ratio still gets mangled.

I know that's common on the WO-thread (and it's actually where I picked it up myself to make quotes smaller), but it's really just lazyness. It only takes a few seconds to calculate and type the correct width with the adjusted height.

Let's test it:
This looks okay. BUT: while loading, everything below this image moves. And if several images like this are at the top of a page, it means everything moves several times. It's the same as having no dimensions-tags at all.

I prefer how I do it myself (obviously): add width, height and alt tags. And before uploading, adjust the image to fit a browser tab. Although I don't always do that, especially for graphs or very large images. For graphs, viewers just have to switch to full-screen or even scroll to see it. For other images (I'm thinking about artwork), it's best to create a smaller image to embed, clickable to see the full version. But I must admit I usually don't do that.

i vote height. as i hate pages jumping around on initial load worse than anything. i sometimes just wont even bother reading pages that do that more than once or twice.

and im guilty of setting just the width tag myself in WO when resizing on quote. i need to change my habits lol

also:

alt tags would rock. never know when you might want text only.

Anyone else having issues with TalkImg.com at the moment or its only me? For some reason I can't upload any images and an hour it was working ok without any issues whatsoever.

@joker_josue  can you please look into it so I can finish my monthly overview.  

edit: its working now.

I am using a chrome browser on a Mac, and frequently I have found that I am not able to upload pictures unless I first refresh the page. 



I have no problems with needing to refresh the page before uploading, but I understand that if I might have had failed to refresh the page and tried to upload, then the upload might not work properly, and I might not have realized that the reason that my upload did not work is that I did not refresh the page first.

Before I talk about of the possible solutions to your problem, the first thing I will advise you to do is to check if your browser is updated, if it isn't, try and update it first. I want to also know if you will be able to identify the reason for the error by pressing the following command in the keyboard; Cmd + Option + J in the Chrome app to be able to access the Developer Console then check if you could find the root cause of the error will appear when you try to upload without reloading the page. If you do, try and search for the solution to the specific problem, if you do not, you can explore these other options.

Try and Disable the all the active browser extensions by clicking the 3-dots menu (• • •) at the top right corner of the browser then navigate to Extensions and Manage Extensions. Try and disable all the extensions then check if it works. If it doesn't, this is the second option.

Try and clear the Cached and Cookies of the browser. In order to do this, click on the lock icon close to the address bar when you visit the website, then choose Site Settings and scroll down to Clear Data then click on it. The other option is for you to allow Javascript and Pop-ups for the Talkimg.com page. To do this, go to Chrome settings, Privacy and security then Site settings. Allow Pop-ups and redirects for Talkimg.com and also allow Javascript under the Content tab. If the problem still persist then it is most probably something which has to do with the website itself.

I have some images which appear broken when uploading them to this forum. Because they are hosted on imgur.  I want to use them in the forum and therefore it looks like I need to download every single image and upload them to talkimg and use them in this forum.

Is there any way I can host the images together on talkimg instead of downloading them individually and re-uploading them to talkimg? If there was such an option it would have saved a lot of time for the old users because almost all the old users of this forum used to use imgur and all those images are now broken.
