So I see a lot of people use this site from their mobile phone and they screencap and then upload the screenshots.

The problem is the images always fill up the entire screen and waste a lot of screen real estate.

Now here's an example of someone's post I just edited:

Side by side images would be great, however when I save changes, this is what the post looks like:

Heres's a post I made where the inability to put images side by side causes a lot of screen real estate to be wasted:

Here's another example:
You'll see the image is so fucking tall that I have to actually scroll down another full page on my browser to see the result:

2 entire pages of screen for 2 simple images isn't really a great use of things.

I could post the same 2 images here, downscale them by 60% and they fit right here:

Better yet if the thumbnail size was automatically chosen based upon ratio then it'd help to save a whole lot of scrolling.

(note: if you put the images in a quote tag, then they display side by side)

So maybe a few things would help:
  • Ability to insert small/medium/large thumbnails
  • Automatically thumbnailing certain aspect ratio images
 
I've intentionally staggered images because I hate images appearing inline with text, causing line height to increase to like 64px. It's obnoxious and mobile users do it fucking constantly.

I much prefer stacked thumbs to thumbs blowing up paragraphs because mobile users are too fucking lazy to put new lines before thumb tags.

Yeah mobile users are quite annoying in terms of how they post.

How about auto thumbnailing based upon image ratio (like if an image is portrait it becomes a smaller thumbnail) or a small/medium/large thumbnail feature? Do you think its technically feasible?
