Photo Size Problem?..

[Dubsgalore]

I've been having a tremendous amount of trouble previewing a post with large photos bbcode links in it. From Imgur and Flickr, using the provided links would lead to double/triple posting and large, giant photos. It doesn't let me preview without 504-ing. Really frustrating but I wanted to see if anyone else was having similar trouble.

I know user 18 wasn't using Flickr but still had the same trouble, only on geekhack as well

If you're using the [img] tags, you can change it to [img height=400] or whatever height you want to restrict it to, and that might fix the issue.  ? 

I've never had this issue, so I don't know if that will work, but maybe it's worth a shot.

I've just noticed something different just now, but related to image sizes so I'll post it here anyway. Over on the GH Movie Night page I made some graphics for the OP, which up until recently had been displayed at full size (thanks to a workaround of quoting attachments directly). However the second marquee graphic has inexplicably begun being scaled smaller, until clicked where it's scaled correctly.

How the image was rendered by the browser a week or so ago:

Code: [Select]

<img class="bbc_img" alt="" src="http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=49101.0;attach=59526;image"></img>
How it's rendered now, with new width and height restrictions:

Code: [Select]

<img class="bbc_img resized" width="640" height="166" align="" alt="" src="http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=49101.0;attach=59526;image" style="cursor: pointer; height: auto; width: auto;"></img>

TBH I'm not sure if it's a change on GH or just some anomaly, but thought I'd share it anyway. The first graphic isn't affected even though it's the same width, so I'm puzzled. Could just be temporary so I might wait a while in case it fixes itself

My experience: I had that particular issue only in that one thread. In other threads, I haven't had the same issues. Using the

Code: [Select]

[img height=xxx width=yyy]<url>[/img] worked for me

I've been having the exact same problem. Just changing the width is working, however, after realizing I have massive images and going to modify the width, I then continue getting 504 errors.
