Wide Images

[Nifft]

Sometimes people embed W-I-D-E images in threads. Currently, this extends the text of all posts on that page to match the width of the post with the wide image. Lots of side-scrolling ensues. I dislike this.

Would it be possible to either:

1/ Not tie the width of all the OTHER posts to the widest post; or

2/ Allow viewers to "close" a post, so it appears without content -- similar to the old "user blocked, click here to see post" interface?

Thanks, -- N

Couldn't you just resize your browser to "fit to width" (that's what I do)?

I've usually got other windows open beside my browser window.

Sure, I could resize -- but I could also just block people who post images, or AdBlock(tm) the individual images, and both of those solutions are easier. One click vs. dragging a window, then dragging it back when I switch to a less-obnoxious thread.

Cheers, -- N

My browser allows me to resize one window independent of all other open windows. Perhaps you need another browser

Does my sig cause any issues with scrolling?

For me, no. Not even when I click off my browser's "fit to width" view setting.

Not at all.
