I'm set up and running now, and some of my users are posting images in the forums (CBB 3.0) via uploads to my server. That's OK by me, I want them to be able to do that. I know I can limit the files size in the forum description. However, is there any way I specify the max dimensions of the image? For example, I would like to be able to limit images to a max size of 800x800.
While investigating this, I also found options within the forum preferences for Max Image Width to create thumbnails. It was a little confusing, but this is how I think it works:
-The idea is to replace the image with a thumbnail if the image is over some size you specify. This way, a lot of images won't expand the forums too much.
-However, if the images are really big, the thumbnails will look dumb, so there is a maximum size for which thumbnails will be made.
Do I have it right?
Finally, in the Misc. Tools section I see a link called Images, and this section talks about the XOOPS "Image Manager". What is this? I don't see any other config options for the image manager in any other menus, nor do I see any blocks that use it. It obviously isn't related to the forum image upload as right now it says only webmasters may upload images, but my registered users are able to do so.
Any light on this subject would be appreciated.
