Sure, and insufficient intelligence to set the camera to take low res pics !

No one wants to change their camera setting to take ow res pics, because then you forget to set it back and future photos you really want detail on suck.

Members are just lazy !
Every image I have ever uploaded has been compressed and/or cropped.
Recent screenshots are the only exception as they are small png files.

It ain't that hard to compress an image ffs !

While the forum's limits are far more generous than previously it's apparent some still have no regard for the readers that have data constraints and thus must wait for the now large images to download.  ::)

Unless I am out and about I never really browse the Forum with a Tablet or Phone but in most but not all cases I use the Phone or Tablet to take pictures.

Much as I run a NAS and Sync all my gear to it the easiest way to crop a few images from a device and get them into a sensible resolution for here is to email them to myself. Depending on your devices email systyem most I have used recently allow a quality setting prior to sending so effectively the processing is done when it hits my inbox.

Preserves the original with no risk of overwriting it and if you want to do a few pics saves time by semi automating the process.

For a final tweak Irfranview does it 90+% of the time for further simple adjustments for me at least and is more than up to Forum grade shots. Generally I aim to keep around the 100k/image as DSL around this country SUX so I know the pain of several 2Mb photos on a forum page  |O

Providing you start with a decent shot little detail is lost down at 800 -1000 wide.

I'm not sure you have noticed the previous posts on this but there are several issues in the theme and since adding that plugin there is a few more.

- clicking on the new embedded image links load a new page
- the new embedded images do not auto width so spill out of the parent element
- the new embedded images max resolution may be set too high or not being obeyed
- user name length is spilling outside its parent element
- high resolution users get a graphical glitch in some of the theme images

Ok, what can I do?
Three options:
1) Remove the plugin
2) Pay someone to fix the plugin
3) Ask the developers to fix it in the next update

Do you have a link to the Mod you installed? Likely a tweak to the CSS would resolve some of the issues Shock raised?

User name length spill - I do not think there is a mod or setting for the current version 2.0+ of SMF to do this. I did do it in hard code in version 1.X but that is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. Best thing is either ignore it or one of the Mods beats up on the user responsible and talks with them about changing it.

Just throwing this Auto/Manual resize mod here for you to take a look at too. It has been around for a fair number of years and the developer of it has kept it up to date with newer versions. https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=4087
