PS - Not only is there resizing but there is also compression/smoothing. I cropped the bird to 1920x1280, opened it from the post editor and compared it to the original in Firefox.
Would you mind sharing the dimension and size limits before they trigger a, b and c…? That would help those of us who would like to show technical images or have our Play Raw entries undisturbed.
Because if it is, according to the discourse developers you should be able to tweak the quality of the reencoding, and disable the rescaling of bigger images, if needed.
I would test a default quality parameter around 90-95. At least that would preserve enough quality to make the detail loss almost imperceptible.
I haven’t seen it like that before. I think the pinned message, e.g., for Welcome to PIXLS.US Discussion is much nicer. I.e., it has the author’s profile picture and tapers the message at the bottom with an ellipsis rather than what we see in the screen clip seen above.
I concur: please don’t use this method to force ‘news’ on everyone. I would be sort of okay if it only appeared on the main page, but it is present as a banner/header for every thread. Also, it’s not immediately apparent as something dismissable; there is no hint to indicate why this message appears and what importance it holds.
Yes, the X is there. My point is that the whole box didn’t immediately trigger me to understand what it was and that it was something I could / needed to dismiss. To be honest, I first thought it was a bug in the forum that something like this popped up, because it looked like a post gone rogue.
Maybe if it had a title, or a border, or something else to set it apart from the rest of the flow it would be more obvious.
Ah you are right. The banner settings, however confusing it is, are located in the pin menu. I’ve removed the post as a global banner, however it is still pinned in the Natron category, which should be fine, I think.
