hey everyone,
just a thought after viewing the pack:
we create our works at a high resolution and also upload them to the forums, imo it is wrong to have those versions in the packs since they are way too huge,
i think that it is not very user friendly to have to scroll around to see the whole piece of art, it reduces the impact of the image and lowers the quality to the pack.
some script that resizes images to a standard size ( max of 1000px in height / 1500 width) would be great to reduce this point and enhance the "df experience" ^^
sry for me struggling to get the message out clear, was a bit drunk yesterday and can't use my head properly

I don't know about automatically resizing an image. But I did notice that some artists have submitted their work at a massive size. I would just suggest that the artists don't submit their works that big. Automatically resizing images to a smaller size will only make the works look low quality, which is even worse than having a visitor scroll around.

I think you just need to remember that people have different monitor sizes too, so everything will always look different on different screens.

I will, however, add a script to resize images that are too large on the forums.

yeh guys, just don't upload them so big. Upload them at the size you want them to be displayed.

An image auto-resize has been added for images that are too large on the forums. At this moment, it just makes the image smaller with a link to see it at full view.
