Image Parser

Can we get some rudimentary image parsing capabilities on the forum?

My specific problem is that the forum rejects images taken with my iPhone because they’re too large. If I take a picture with my iPhone, I have to email it to myself in a small format, save the image on the phone, go back to the Spyderco Forum, and then upload the new image. It’s a cumbersome process.

Uploading the original image to one of the many image hosting services is equally cumbersome, and somewhat intrusive.

Several forum software packages will automatically downsize images to whatever size the administrator chooses. Can we get us some o’ that?

Hi, RustyIron:
I can't make any promises, but I can look into it and see if it's something we can do with our current software. There are a ton of add-ons, but unfortunately, not all of them work well.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I appreciate you!

Kristi
