We have to talk about you faggots not being able to figure out thumbnails

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

Yes. The copy+paste jobs in A&N are by far the laziest, sloppiest shit on the site. A&N is beyond moderation to the point where I don't even bother pointing this out. Retard faggot niggers will literally include advertisements, asides, page notices, "READ MOREs" to other articles. Just unbelievably lazy. When/if we get the software change I am just nuking A&N and not bothering to import its content because it's worthless.

What will the new section be called, FYAD? No article that needs pictures ever have pictures which posters point out immediately.

Shame for us TIFF-philes on this forum. Null should not give anymore warnings, just when someone misuses the thumbnails make their KiwiFarms site load 5% slower every offence.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Every time you make a post about ‘I have been trying to make users be less retarded’ I feel personally attacked and I’ve only been here since August.

 

[Jimmy Olsen]

I don't think telling people how to cripple the website is a good idea Null.

 

[Weed Eater]

Was this just not common sense though?

Why am I even asking that, of course there's no common sense anymore.

 

[HarblMcDavid]

YouTube literally deleted it for ambiguous ToS Violations and auto-rejected it on appeal twice. I'd have to re-record it.

This one?

 

[the khat quaffer]

I mean don't go out of your way to make wastefully oversized images but we're hosting videos now and people love somehow making 75MB files out of 30 seconds of footage which is a far more urgent issue.

Can you help me archive this to the site I keep getting error messages

 

[lolnah]

Do...do newfags not know that 4chan threads are deleted after a certain period of time? Seriously how do people not understand that you have to archive everything at this point?

 

[Unassuming Local Guy]

I think a lot of people don't really understand why they're being asked to use thumbnails, which is an important aspect.

From what I gather, it's less about bandwidth and more about simply not having pages that are 500 miles long because they're crammed full of physically large images. It's just annoying to scroll through. Unless I'm missing something.

I'm not sure thumbnails even reduce bandwidth usage. I know they don't reduce storage space usage.

 

[Null]

This one?

Yes, I'll need to update it because youtube-dl was murdered by Susan and yt-dlp is the new one.

I don't think telling people how to cripple the website is a good idea Null.

??? it doesn't cripple the site is just makes browsing unpleasant. it's essentially a matter of netiquette but I don't know how else to tell people to start being more fucking considerate

Vordrak, Greta, Greer, Melinda, Sam Ambreen and them have all the ammo they need now. Good thing they're all far too lazy and stupid

Edit: and as Null said above it wouldn't do shit anyway

 

[Mr. Manchester]

The preview button is pretty useful if you're worried about fucking something up. You just click it again to go back to editing your post. Im a retard who will never remember how to spoiler something so when I do I double check.

 

[NerdShamer]

I have included a video tutorial on how to add a fucking image to your post to the OP of this thread thank you

Why do you sound like an incel?

Oh, wait.

I seem to recall some threads becoming unbrowsable because the browser choked rendering the pages due to all the un-thumbed phone screenshots with resolutions seemingly in excess of 4k.

 

[Friendly Primarina]

If I put a thumbnail inside a spoiler, will the full image appear at the bottom as an "attachment?" I don't want to accidentally put NSFW content outside a spoiler.

 

[Kermit Jizz]

What else am I supposed to mindlessly browse while taking my morning shit? My favorite lolcow threads don't generate enough content for that.

Have a picture open in another browser window, drag and drop it into the Xenforo post editor... And it creates a IMG tag linking to the original source of the file. Do this on pretty much any other platform, eg. Twitter, Pleroma, Matrix, whatever - and it will go download the file and host it either on the server or in a CDN. Xenforo's default behavior is weird, probably because this logic was decided back in 2000 or whatever when bandwidth was way more expensive. Hopefully Sneedforo will default to self-hosting the file and inserting a thumbnail.

 

[evilsponge]

Thank you daddy Nool I'll try to do better

 

[Sneed's Feed And Seed]

I have literally done this every time, it's just good forum etiquette.

Why not just automatically resize all images to a max width of 800px instead of native resolution?
