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

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.

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

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.
 
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

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.
 
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.

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?
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.
