Inspired by this thread at Spacebattles.

Apparently it's a feature which resizes and 'thumbnails' any image posted with it to 640 pixels wide. The Hard Light Productions Forums seem to have this. Is there any way we can have it implemented here at SDnet?

Now that could come in handy, especially in the pic-heavy threads this forum is full of.

I haven't seen anything like that for phpBB2 (then again, I haven't kept up-to-date on them). Without a hack for phpBB2.0.6 in particular, implementing such a tag is nearly impossible (unless you know a lot of PHP).

I don't think it would be that much work... Parse the tag, resize the image, save it, then spit out the html to point towards it.

I looked at the forums, I don't think they even resize the image; they just add a little html for the image size.

Nope, just saw a good idea being talked about at SB.
