Cool, wasn't sure if that would work...now I am realtively new to html, is there a way to make those values relative rather than absolute?  Reason I ask is if i make it absolute and the image is sized landscape then the widht and height would distort it.

[akulion]

well u could try using percentages like width = 50% height =50%

but apart from that i dont know any other way

Thanks a lot, this one works fine for me ! 

(was having a fight with the one from this topic : http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=4220.0

I am sorry that you didnt find it to your needing.

Sorry Mitch, wasn't refering to your script but to sdl's one; which is in the same thread. Didn't meant to hurt

[technodragon73]

the 50% trick does it...it works nicely!

i am using this script for avatars and it works except it resizes my avatars to 150x150 when they are only 95x95. anyone else try it for avatars and having this problem?

rbh try doing that...and furthermore if you have lots of images of varying sizes (dimensions) use width=100% height=100% and it should adjust accordingly

Hi! I am using the random image thingy in a block, and I've put the rotate.php file in one of the avatar folders; and it works - but would there be any side affects or will it cause damage to the forum - you know code wise etc.

[Techdomain]

that will work fine - you can put that file in any folder with images. I dont know how it will go with folders that have files other than images though!

another way to make the size relative (instead of using 50% or whatever) - you dont have to put height and width. So for my forums, I just use width="190" so it fits in the side bar nicely.

Side effects?

Well in versions lower than TP 0.8.6 it has been known to cause a slight cough and wheesing in the forum

And in 0.8.6 only one reported case of a slight redness around the "home" button was reported

apart from that there are no other reported side effects
