Last Post/Last Unread issue

[OneDummHikk]

When going to the Last Post in a thread, or the Last Unread link, if there are images in a post on the page above there, it causes the page to jump every time one gets displayed. The issue only happens if there are no height and width attributes specified in the img tag. The browser puts the X (? on a Mac - I think), and then when the image gets downloaded, the browser displays it full size and causes the page to jump.

It would be easy to fix for TRT images. When the code on the image gallery is created, simply use getimagesize in PHP and put the image attributes in the code.

There is also a JS solution to all the images. If the server automatically put sizes on the image, say 45x45, then make them a link to the full size image. It would solve the problem of page jumping.

Would you rather have a link to a full size image, or, a page that jumps all over the place as it loads and won't take you where you wanted to go?

I've not noticed the page jumping or images not loading properly on my end

and I still prefer full size images over thumbnails

That can be solved as well but it would take a little more work on the server. The server would have to scan the page, find img tags without width/height, retrieve the image, read the attributes, insert it. Then, you would get the actual image without the jumping.

It could also be done where clicking on the image would cause it to go from thumbnail to full size without opening a new window.

(This is more for daniel than you kelli)

In each img tag, have an onclick (Yahoo could be used to add them dynamically).

onclick="this.width='';this.height='';"

Set the width and height to thumbnail size. When a user clicks on it, it will resize it to full size.

I also like the full size image in the post and don't seem to have any problem with it loading up, other then every so often the image is too large and I have to scroll back over. but even then I would rather have that then a link to the image

I agree Vinnie. I would rather have the image. But I would also like for the First Unread and Last Post buttons to take me where they should The one I noticed the worst was Caball362's nano thread. When I went to the last post, waited on the images to load, I had to scroll down almost 4 pages to get to the last post from the "jumping" from the images. And that was 4 pages on a full sized browser window on a 23" monitor. Thats a LOT of scrolling.

If you set your resolution o your monitor to 1920 X 1200 and maximize the Internet Browser window, you will not have any problems with the page jumping around. For the most part the entire first page of threads will fit on that one screen and sideways scrolling is a thing of the past as well.

I hope that wasn't too smart alecky for anyone.

Right now, it is set at 1680x1050. If I make it any smaller, I can't see anything. I shouldn't have to set my screen resolution that fine and then maximize the browser on a 23" monitor to fix a flaw in the TRT software

They also sell these things that help people see better. They are usually not very expensive and might help you out. I am trying to remember what they are called.

I understand what you are saying about the software issues and I was just giving you a hard time.


Oh yeah, they are called glasses.

I know. It is just irritating that the problem is so easy to solve.

Tell your wife to bring a first aid kit to the picnic
