I am starting to notice that, whenever I post a screenshot, it takes up the entirety of my post, and I'm starting to be worried that the forum software doesn't automatically scale images to a certain size. And it doubly concerns me when I post images that are way too high res (eg: something from my old iPhone, for example, would be very likely to stretch the page a lot) as it would royally mess with post layouts.

I'll use this post as an example.

I may suggest limiting forum posts with an autoscale limit when screenshots are too large, to prevent such an anomaly from occuring. This would help make the forums look a lot more presentable.

It's kind of conflict of interest, either to preserve the screenshot as it is or to scale it for the layout. Automatic scaling down to preserve layout makes sense to me, but then there should be a clickable link (the image itself in example) to show the image in its full glory.

i think it would be nice if in post images above a certain size were displayed smaller until they were clicked/tapped, but im not sure how feasible it is at the moment

You can add images with the HTML image tags to manually specify a size if you think it's too large for your post, and make it a clickable link to the full image too.

Not as uniform or convenient as the forum autoscaling large images, but it's still a serviceable solution.

Huh. I was unaware you could use HTML code for these forums. They're usually turned off by default.

That's a convenient middle ground until we get an answer from NinCollin himself. Thanks.

HTML / CSS is how the post layouts some people have work (like mine). There doesn't seem to be any real limitation or restriction on it's use in posts either (but if you try to embed an animation it does prevent it, so that has to be hotlinked from somewhere else).
